Business Wire
JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS),
The Supply Chain Company®, announced today that The Boeing
Company, the world’s leading aerospace company and the largest
manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft, is live
with JDA® Make-to-Order and JDA® Procurement Management.
The $67 billion company — which utilizes JDA’s solutions for its
manufacturing execution system within the Boeing Defense, Space and
Security (BDS) division — recently deployed the technology in two
major BDS divisions across 13 sites. The implementations mark the
first half of the manufacturer’s multi-phased plan to adopt common
processes and systems across all BDS locations.
As the cornerstone of its common suite of technology, JDA’s
Make-to-Order and Procurement Management solutions enable the
manufacturer to decrease unexpected buying, automate end-to-end
procurement lifecycle planning and improve contract-oriented
resource planning and execution. As a result, Boeing has achieved
on-time delivery performance, reduced overhead costs, enhanced cash
flow and productivity, as well as optimized operational
efficiency.
“Boeing adopted JDA solutions as the keystone applications for
its BDS division over the past few years,” said Jerry Fear,
Boeing senior manager, information technology,
supply chain systems. “Having already successfully deployed
these applications, we are on target to achieve our objective of
accelerating and deploying this common set of tools. Completing
major deployments across all BDS locations will enhance our overall
business processes and bring us closer to our vision of ‘buy
anywhere, build anywhere.’
“JDA’s Make-to-Order and Procurement Management solutions
support Boeing’s system consolidation initiative to greatly reduce
the number of applications being used within the company,” Fear
added. “Utilizing JDA’s proven products enables us to retire
hundreds of applications that use older technologies. The JDA
solutions have helped us improve bottom-line results and deliver
more value to customers.”
Nancie Torrence, JDA’s group vice president of government,
aerospace and defense, commented, “In order to maintain a
competitive edge, successful manufacturers understand that
orchestrating all aspects of production planning and scheduling for
enhanced productivity, control and prioritization requires fully
integrated, supply chain software solutions. Leveraging JDA’s
Make-to-Order and JDA Procurement Management solutions can enable
Boeing to proactively address the numerous factors involved in
master planning, implement effective production schedules and
execute master plans to maximize revenue and achieve long-term
profitability.”
