Infor Global Solutions to Provide Supply Chain Software to Tenneco Automotive

NORTHVILLE, Mich., Dec. 2, 2004 -- Infor Global Solutions, a global provider of enterprise software solutions to manufacturing and distribution vertical markets, announced that Tenneco Automotive will implement Infor's SupplyWEB solution at its manufacturing plants worldwide. Tenneco Automotive is one of the world's largest designers, manufacturers and distributors of automotive ride control and emission control products and systems for the automotive original equipment market and aftermarket.

SupplyWEB, Infor's Web-enabled supply chain management solution, integrates information from disparate ERP systems used by various suppliers to create a single, universal, real-time view of supply chain operations for suppliers and internal users. This helps create efficiencies, reduce supply chain costs and decrease inventories by integrating multiple suppliers into a single system.

Infor worked closely with Tenneco Automotive's logistics, materials and supply chain groups to develop a global business plan for optimizing an automated supply chain. An initial installation of SupplyWEB was implemented at the company's Wissembourg, France, plant and produced a 35 percent reduction in inventory, eliminated fax and manual processing charges, and significantly reduced costs for expedited freight.

"With the demands of a lean manufacturing environment, optimizing our supply chain operations with SupplyWEB helps provide the efficiencies and cost containment we need to stay ahead of the competition," said Bill Haser, Vice President and CIO for Tenneco Automotive.

"We're pleased to be working with Tenneco Automotive on a global basis," said Robin Pederson, Senior Vice President, Discrete Group for Infor. "SupplyWEB will provide Tenneco Automotive with the functionality necessary to seamlessly manage supply chain operations in multiple countries and across continents."
