Robert Bosch Corporation Implements Manugistics to Power Its Automotive Aftermarket Supply Chain Processes

ROCKVILLE, Md.--Aug. 6, 2003--Manugistics , a leading global provider of supply and demand chain management software, today announced that Robert Bosch Corporation, one of the world's leading automotive OEM and aftermarket parts suppliers, has implemented Manugistics' collaborative Sales and Operations Planning solution to help Bosch optimize its internal forecasting process for its Aftermarket division. Using the Manugistics solution, Bosch is facilitating a collaborative planning process that will help enable quicker, more efficient responsiveness to fluctuations in customer demand in the aftermarket service parts channel.

Manugistics' collaborative Sales and Operations Planning solution is designed to help companies keep demand and supply in balance by establishing the overall level of inventory and manufacturing output required to fulfill customer orders and planned demand, while meeting business objectives such as increased profitability, productivity, and customer service levels.
