Logility Congratulates its Customers Parker Hannifin and Red Wing Shoe Company on their Selection to The Supply & Demand Chain Executive 2014 Pros to Know

Logility Inc., a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, congratulates Dave Magness, senior vice president Supply Chain, Red Wing Shoe Company, and Robert McAdoo, vice president Business Systems, Parker Hannifin, on their selection to the Supply & Demand Chain Executive 2014 Pros to Know. Magness and McAdoo were selected from more than 300 nominations submitted for the 14th annual listing and are recognized for leading initiatives that help prepare their businesses for the supply chain opportunities and challenges ahead.

Dave Magness and the Red Wing Shoe Company team have been a vital component of the company’s ability to manage its global growth in the face of increasing cost pressures and changing consumer preferences in the footwear and apparel industry. The team has transformed its sales and operations planning (S&OP) process to help drive a “one number” plan and ensure all stakeholders are working toward a common goal. The global S&OP process has helped increase fill rates, reduced safety stock and inventory, and improved service levels.

Parker Hannifin offers more than 850,000 products across its global operations creating a highly complex supply chain network that has seen rapid growth through organic initiatives and acquisitions. Robert McAdoo and the supply chain team at Parker Hannifin have been charged with rolling out a global S&OP process across the company’s more than 140 divisions. The journey encompasses a methodical process of implementing the S&OP process one division at a time, incorporating best practices from each division along the way. Currently more than half way through the process, Parker Hannifin is well on its way to a standard global S&OP process.

“We congratulate Dave Magness and Robert McAdoo on their selections as 2014 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know,” said Mike Edenfield, president and CEO, Logility. “Each consistently demonstrates strong leadership, a vision of the supply chain organization’s opportunities and a commitment to customer service excellence. It is an honor to be their technology partner and we look forward to continuing to help these leaders drive supply chain excellence for their global businesses.”

The Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know Awards recognize supply chain executives and manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises who are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies’ supply chains for the significant challenges of today’s business climate. This year’s list includes the 2014 Provider Pros to Know—individuals from software firms and service providers, consultancies or academia, who have helped their supply chain clients or the supply chain community at large prepare to meet these challenges—and Practitioner Pros, who do the same within their own companies.
