The leading Australian building products company to ensure peak
efficiency through end-to-end visibility with RapidResponse
Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX: KXS), the authority in driving agility for
fast, confident decision-making in an unpredictable world,
announced today that CSR, one of the leading building products in
Australia and New Zealand, has selected Kinaxis to drive accuracy
and transparency across its supply chain and ensure they are
prepared for the unexpected.
CSR is the name behind some of the market's most trusted and
recognised brand names in providing building products for
residential and commercial construction in Australia, including
Gyprock™ plasterboard, Bradford™ Insulation, Cemintel™ fibre
cement, Hebel® autoclaved aerated concrete panels, PGH™ Bricks,
Monier™ rooftiles and AFS walling systems™. CSR operates low-cost
manufacturing facilities and has a strong distribution network to
service their customers across Australia and New Zealand.
The Kinaxis’ RapidResponse platform offers a solution for
realigning, consolidating and optimizing global supply chain
activities for maximum flexibility and faster decision-making. CSR
selected Kinaxis, in partnership with Argon & Co., a global
management consultancy specializing in operations strategy, to
transform their supply chain capability.
“RapidResponse will be a key part of our large-scale
transformational change,” said Cameron Webb, executive general
manager, Transformation, Technology and Digital at CSR Limited.
“The current volatility and global supply chain disruptions require
an integrated view to enable quick decision-making.”
“Working together with CSR to achieve their transformation
objectives, we bring a combination of deep technical expertise and
operational experience to this engagement,” said Argon & Co.
Partner ANZ David Bissett. “Partnered with Kinaxis, we look forward
to supporting CSR through this operational transformation which we
believe will lead to substantial improvements in efficiency,
visibility and decision-making.”
With more than 40 current customers with operations in
Australia, Kinaxis welcomes CSR as the first Australia-based
corporation to join the record number of companies selecting
Kinaxis for supply chain planning and optimization, which
ultimately reduces waste in the supply chain.
“CSR is already a leader in sustainability efforts. Using
RapidResponse to help them identify more efficient routes and
delivery options for forward and reverse logistics with real-time
scenario planning will cut carbon emissions even more,” said John
Sicard, CEO at Kinaxis. “We are excited to work with the world’s
leading companies, like CSR, who are committed to supply chain
sustainability.”
