Innovator in Hose Couplings Turns to Logility
to Enhance Visibility and Foster Collaboration across Highly
Complex Global Operations
Logility, Inc., a leading provider of collaborative supply chain
optimization and advanced retail planning solutions, today
announced Dixon Valve and Coupling Company, LLC (“Dixon”), a
leading innovator in the hose coupling industry, has implemented
Logility Voyager Solutions™ to support the company’s sales and
operations planning (S&OP) process, balance service levels and
cost across its highly complex product portfolio, and increase
internal and external collaboration.
Founded in 1916, Dixon manufactures and markets innovative
solutions across many industries including petroleum exploration,
refining and transportation; chemical processing; food and
beverage; steel; fire protection; construction and mining; and
manufacturing. Each of these markets has its own set of unique
products, seasonal attributes and a mix of slow moving, high cost
inventory. To manage this highly complex supply chain, Dixon
deployed Logility Voyager Solutions as an advanced supply chain
platform to help develop more accurate forecasts that drive
downstream activity, boost profitability, increase customer
satisfaction and synchronize supply chain partners.
“Our goal at Dixon is to manufacture and deliver the highest
quality products when and where our customers need them,” said Tom
Parr, Dixon’s vice president of operations. “Many of our products
can have highly intermittent demand and high costs which means we
need to develop a very accurate forecast to understand how much of
each product to produce and where to position that inventory so it
is available to our customers quickly without the need for
expedited shipping. After an extensive evaluation of the market, we
have implemented Logility Voyager Solutions to help us increase
collaboration, improve forecast accuracy and achieve higher service
levels.”
With Logility Voyager Solutions in place, Dixon is able to
develop a more robust S&OP process to foster collaboration and
ensure the company operates towards a single plan. Greater
collaboration helps the business reduce the inherent risk
associated with the longer lead times its suppliers require,
especially for products that are seasonal or unique to a given
industry or geography. The advanced supply chain platform from
Logility helps Dixon increase forecast accuracy and service levels
while driving down both inventory and transportation costs.
“Dixon has a strong history of delivering innovation and quality
to its customers around the world,” said Allan Dow, president,
Logility. “Logility Voyager Solutions is an advanced supply chain
platform to help drive greater accuracy and speed in highly complex
environments. We are excited to help Dixon achieve greater
visibility, synchronize demand and supply, and improve its leverage
of inventory investments and production.”
