Say THAT three times fast! Linksys, a Cisco division, announced recently that they have been honored with the Ventana Research 2007 Performance Management Leadership Award for their “operational excellence in supply chain management.” After their successful growth in the home and small business sector, it should come as no surprise.
Recipients were chosen by a Ventana Research team, and were scored on their overall best practices, and how they align with people, process, information and technology and business impact. Winners were announced in San Francisco this week at the BI Conference for Operational and Customer Performance Management.
“Linksys stands out as a global best-practice leader with its implementation of operational performance management methods and sales and operations planning (S&OP) technology, said Colin Snow, vice president and research director of operational and supply chain performance management at Ventana Research. “We recognize them with this leadership award because of their cross-functional adoption across sales, marketing, product and operations and the positive business results achieved.”
“It is important for us to have a system and process in place that helps reduce the impact of demand volatility on the supply chain, while decreasing inventory and maintaining a high level of customer service,” said Mark Payne, vice president of World Wide Operations of Linksys. “The work we did with Symphony Metreo enables us to not only address our performance management needs but also helps us exceed our strategic operational and business goals.. To be honored by Ventana in this way is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our Linksys teams along with Symphony Metreo.”
“We congratulate Linksys for its achievements in aligning and synchronizing supply chain operations, while driving deeper cross-functional collaboration across the organization,” said Tal Ball, CEO of Symphony Metreo. “To be recognized by Ventana for this achievement is further testament to the dramatic results that follow proper prioritization of operational goals.”
