"As an inventory control manager here at MC Assembly, I've found the tool extremely useful in my day to day operation. One example is a clear to build tool that we've chosen to launch with RapidResponse™ and that gives our planners here the ability to, at any given time, to go in and make a demand change, make a schedule change, make a quantity change and understand the impact of that change immediately so that they can make the best decision and communicate to the internal customers what we're also doing so that everybody's on the same page. In our past environment, that could take 2 to 3 days. In our current RapidResponse environment, that could literally take seconds to minutes." (Tom Rossi, inventory control manager, MC Assembly)
By rapidly responding to changes in the supply chain, companies can improve business performance, increase customer satisfaction and gain a competitive advantage over organizations that lack an effective Response Management strategy.
"Having been an analyst for the last 15 years, I've probably met thousands of software companies and I've interviewed lots of customers and one of the things that separates Kinaxis™ from most of those companies is just the unbelievably high level of customer satisfaction. People trust Kinaxis." (Bruce Richardson, chief research officer, AMR Research)
Sound too good to be true? RapidResponse from Kinaxis is being used by some of the largest global manufacturers to manage the constant unexpected changes in all areas of their supply chain.
"Lucent derives value from many different areas using RapidResponse: inventory management, supply and demand planning, excess and obsolete claims. As a matter of fact, we were able to avoid excess of $30 million in excess and obsolete charges over the past couple of years using our global inventory and liability tool within RapidResponse." (Dianne Sforza, global RapidResponse project manager, SCN global integrated operations engineering, Lucent Technologies)
"It allowed us, in the 2000 down turn within the telecom industry, allowed us to manage that change and reduce our potential liabilities and our costs and as a result, Jabil has stayed profitable, even through that down turn." (Ron Stappert, Operations Manager, Jabil Circuit)
"Honestly, I don't know how any buyer, planner, inventory control specialist would want to execute in the contract manufacturing environment without this tool, RapidResponse." (Tom Rossi, inventory control manager, MC Assembly)
Simply put, RapidResponse gives manufacturers the tools to make smart decisions and make them fast.
