Glanbia Selects LLamasoft Supply Chain Planning
Software and Services
Irish food giant partners with LLamasoft to optimize supply
chain operations
Ann Arbor, MI - February 24, 2010 - In this partnership, Glanbia
will license LLamasoft's strategic planning software, Supply Chain
Guru®, and will contract LLamasoft's consulting services to
assist with the initial network design initiative.
John Mee, Glanbia Supply Chain Manager commented, "We selected
Llamasoft for a combination of both their deep level of engagement
at the tendering stage, and because their technology can both
model and simulate our end-to-end supply chain operation. It was
also a significant feature that Supply Chain Guru can also model
and simulate inventory operations within the one single system."
In Ireland, Glanbia consumer food products reach nearly every
citizen every day. The initial project will focus on leveraging
Glanbia's production and distribution infrastructure to optimize
the flow of chilled goods throughout the country. Glanbia will
then use Supply Chain Guru® strategic planning software for
continuous improvement initiatives within Ireland and throughout
their international operations.
"Glanbia has an opportunity to use their supply chain as
a strategic competitive advantage," stated LLamasoft Executive
Vice President, Toby Brzoznowski. "We are excited to have
been selected as Glanbia's strategic partner, helping them model
and optimize their supply chain network operations. LLamasoft
is continuing our strategy of aggressively investing in both the
development of our technology and our operational infrastructure
throughout the world; and this new partnership with Glanbia helps
confirm our position as a global leader in Supply Chain Strategic
Planning."
