Luxottica Group goes live with JDA solution

Bracknell,England --JDA Software Group announced that eyewear manufacturer/marketer Luxottica Group SpA has gone live with its implementation of JDA Supply Chain Planner, from the JDA Manufacturing Planning.



The JDA solution, which will integrate with Luxottica’s existing ERP systems, will enable the company to increase its supply chain responsiveness to meet highly seasonal and fragmented demand for its fast-shifting product mix.



With sales of €7.3 billion in 2013 and a presence in 130 countries, comprised of 50 commercial subsidiaries and 7,000 stores, Luxottica is a leader in the design, manufacture, distribution and sale of premium, luxury and sports eyewear. The company owns brands such as Ray-Ban, Oakley and Persol, and also licenses products to designers like Armani, Burberry, Chanel, Dolce&Gabbana and Prada.



“Our production processes are heavily influenced by geography, seasonality and the need to produce both fast shift and carry over products. As a fast-moving global business, it is imperative that we have a highly-responsive supply chain,” said Enrico Mistron, supply chain director, Luxottica Group. “We chose JDA as it proved to offer the best solution to support our supply chain transformation plans. In addition, the technical architecture consultancy and solution quality assurance provided by JDA’s Services team ensured this project was completed on time, and within budget.”
