Lockheed Martin buys Kinaxis supply chain solution

Filed in archive News on January 31, 2009

I just noticed that Lockheed Martin has bought the supply chain RepidResponse solution of Kinaxis folks. In a press release from the company, it was announced that Lockheed Martin Aeronautics chose RapidResponse because the solution will help complement their highly complex supply chain infrastructure in dynamically aligning demand and supply. With RapidResponse, a broad base of users are able to access accurate and detailed supply chain information through an interface that is embedded with MRP analytics and populated with live data feeds from ERP and planning systems.

With the initial deployment of RapidResponse scheduled for early 2Q09, supply chain participants across various functional groups will be able to model ERP/MRP data to instantly simulate, share and score countless "what-if" supply and demand scenarios.
