The project started with a six-week consulting engagement enabling the i2 consulting group to introduce Distribuidora Flexi to i2's thought leadership in supply chain planning best practices, identify areas of opportunity and develop a roadmap to implement i2 solutions.
The i2 consulting engagement primarily focused on conducting strategy sessions with Distribuidora Flexi's core team, enabling the joint team to compare supply chain industry best practices against current business processes to identify key areas of opportunity.
This process resulted in the Distribuidora Flexi and i2 team making several key recommendations for process, organization and technology improvements and a roadmap to implement these recommendations.
Distribuidora Flexi then worked together with i2 to implement the recommendations and install i2 solutions to improve demand management and master planning process across their entire product lines and facilities.
"Their proven success in the footwear industry has enabled i2 to establish industry-leading best practices for supply chain excellence," said i2 Senior Vice President of Consumer Products Steve Estrada.
"i2 customers can gain the most benefit by working together with their consultants to diagnose their supply chain key focus areas and then implement solutions that address the areas that can bring the most significant impact areas first.
This approach helps their customers to map outthe business process changes, solution implementation effort, and better plan for the change management initiatives these projects require for success."
