For the ninth year in a row (!) AAPN member NGC has been announced as a recipient of the Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s 2019 SDCE 100 Awards. Big congratulations are in order from all of us.

This year NGC are being recognized especially for their work with fellow AAPN members Jockey International.

Jockey needed a common platform for all PLM-related elements, with one source of information for all departments and vendors. The brand sought to manage workflows in a global, collaborative environment to increase speed to market and manage lead times as effectively as possible. The company implemented NGC’s Andromeda PLM to give users real-time visibility and control from product concept to customer availability.

Using Andromeda PLM, Jockey has decreased lead times by as much as two to eight weeks. Jockey has also seen significant operational improvements, thanks to process consolidation and streamlining, fewer clicks, and significant overall time savings with Andromeda PLM. Jockey can also evaluate, manage and report on vendor performance using the vendor management features in Andromeda, which contributes to the company’s lead time reduction and allows it to quickly resolve any issues with vendors.

As usual, amazing innovation from our AAPN family!
