ARC ADVISORY GROUP NAMES PLAN4DEMAND AMONG 10 COOLEST SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT CONSULTING COMPANIES.

Global market research and consulting firm cites Plan4Demand as “favorite company focused on North America” for supply chain planning solutions

PITTSBURGH, PA, August 10, 2007—Executives with Plan4Demand Solutions Inc., the consulting services firm specializing in supply chain management business processes and technologies, today announced their firm’s recognition in a recent article by ARC Advisory Group entitled “10 Coolest SCM Boutique Consultants”

The article, focusing on supply chain management boutique firms from around the world that service manufacturing clients, included only two firms that focus primarily on implementing supply chain planning solutions; Plan4Demand was the only one headquartered in North America. “You don’t often hear the word cool used to describe the world of supply chain management,” said Plan4Demand CEO Lisa M. Kustra. “We know our clients value the world-class expertise and service we provide, and we’re doing cutting-edge work on products like Demand Curve Analyzer™ and our Supply Chain QUEST training, but to us that’s business as usual. “To earn the stamp of approval from industry pundits is not only gratifying, in any terms, it validates the progress of our mission – to be known as the premier supply chain management solutions firm, throughout North America and ultimately around the world.”

The article, published on the ARC Advisory Group Web site (www.arcweb.com), states that ARC narrowed down its list of top 10 coolest SCM boutiques from a roster that originally included more than 1,000 companies.

It cites Plan4Demand’s long history of supply chain planning experience, growth across multiple industry vertical markets, and advances in practices like SAP APO.
