CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS), a hybrid enterprise software provider of on-premise and cloud deployments, announced that Coty Inc., a leading global beauty company and one of the world’s largest fragrance manufacturers, plans to implement CDC Factory’s manufacturing operations management (MOM) solution to help improve efficiencies and drive productivity at this $4 billion company.

Following a CDC Factory Benchmark Audit, Coty identified opportunities for significant cost savings at its Sanford, North Carolina plant. As part of the Sanford operations’ plans to improve plant efficiencies and utilization, Coty had already implemented its own lean initiatives. This resulted in significant improvements; however, Coty wanted to make these initiatives sustainable while using its own home grown system. As a result, Coty decided to implement CDC Factory so it could measure and drive actions in real time to generate cost savings.

According to Brian O’Neil, vice president of Coty Operations, “We understand the power of lean manufacturing in lowering overall operating costs, and in engaging our work force in collecting and using their own data to drive improvements. In our initial lean projects, we did yield some benefits; however, we were looking to raise performance to the next level. To accomplish that goal, we realized the need for real-time intelligence and a better continuous improvement structure. With the implementation of CDC Factory, and leveraging CDC Software’s expertise in this area, we expect to see reduced costs and increased efficiencies at our plant, while positively impacting our employee culture.”

“We are delighted to add this global beauty company to our expanding Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) customer base,” said Mark Sutcliffe, president of CDC Factory, a product line and business of CDC Software. “More and more CPG companies are using CDC Factory to help address today’s business challenges of rising commodity and fuel prices and a slowly recovering economy. CDC Factory not only helps address these high level issues, but it also provides a system for manufacturers to execute meaningful and productive change management and efficiency improvements that will position them for long-term growth.”
