I was asked the other day if I could provide an example of a market leader who is benefiting from adopting a Response Management solution, so I wanted to share the following success story with you.

If you track the electronics market you know that Jabil Circuit is a leader in contract manufacturing. They are consistently viewed as one of the best run companies in this very demanding space.

Among the many things they’ve done to achieve this position is broadly adopting Response Management. Jabil has a discipline planning process, including corporate planning, supply chain planning, financial planning, etc. But they also realized that things change so frequently that there are a lot of problems they just can’t plan their way out of. This is where Response Management comes in.

Unlike a planning application that may be used by a handful of highly trained users, today there are about 4,000 Jabil employees that utilize Response Management software to more effectively respond to change. This software works in the ad hoc fashion that rapid response requires and provides these users with immediate access to the information they need to respond effectively.

For more information on Jabil, see the case study here.
