NGC recognized for its Andromeda PLM®
deployment with Jockey International, Inc.
New Generation Computing, Inc. (“NGC”), a leading provider of
cloud-based solutions for product lifecycle management (PLM),
supply chain management (SCM), quality control and vendor
compliance, today announced that it was selected as a recipient of
Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s 2019 SDCE 100 Awards for the
ninth consecutive year.
The SDCE 100 is an annual list of 100 great supply chain
projects that serve as a map for supply chain executives who are
looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own
operations. The award spotlights successful and innovative
transformation projects that deliver bottom-line value and achieve
supply chain excellence.
This year, NGC was recognized for its work with Jockey
International, Inc., a 143-year-old brand recognized around the
world for its premium underwear and apparel. Jockey needed a common
platform for all PLM-related elements, with one source of
information for all departments and vendors. The brand sought to
manage workflows in a global, collaborative environment to increase
speed to market and manage lead times as effectively as possible.
The company implemented NGC’s Andromeda PLM® to give users
real-time visibility and control from product concept to customer
availability.
Using Andromeda PLM, Jockey has decreased lead times by as much
as two to eight weeks. Jockey has also seen significant operational
improvements, thanks to process consolidation and streamlining,
fewer clicks, and significant overall time savings with Andromeda
PLM. Jockey can also evaluate, manage and report on vendor
performance using the vendor management features in Andromeda®,
which contributes to the company’s lead time reduction and allows
it to quickly resolve any issues with vendors.
“NGC is proud to be recognized once again for our work in
helping leading apparel brands and retailers like Jockey implement
innovative solutions that improve product development and supply
chain processes,” said Mark Burstein, president, NGC. “This is one
of many examples of how Andromeda is helping companies streamline
product development, reduce costs and quickly respond to customer
demands.”
