Strengthening move towards a "best in class" supply chain

TXTDEMAND, part of the TXTPERFORM Supply Chain Management (SCM) suite was selected by Leighs Paints to move closer to its aim of "World Class performance against customer's requirements" by further increasing supply chain efficiency.

The new partnership with TXT e-solutions will help further improve Leighs Paints supply chain by enhancing its demand planning and forecasting capabilities and in turn customer satisfaction to secure its position as one of the industries most customer focused companies.

Leighs Paints is an international manufacturer of high performance coatings and passive fire protection products to various sectors ranging from fire to steel and the energy industries. Following a nomination for a European Supply Chain Excellence award last year, Leighs continues to build its SCM capabilities through collaborative links with customers and suppliers.

Leighs Paints prides itself on the innovation and quality of its products which is vital for some larger projects such as London's St. Pancras International rail station and the Forth Rail Bridge. TXTDEMAND will help improve forecast accuracy for raw materials as well as for finished products by bringing all of the forecasting inputs and variables into one platform. As a result, Leighs Paints will continue to increase its already impressive customer service levels through greater consistency in supply chain performance without a heavy reliance upon inventory. This achievement is critical due to the scale and importance of some projects.

"This project is the continuation of Leighs Paints modernisation of the supply chain with the goal of achieving a world class standard and turning those advantages into real customer benefits. I believe TXTDEMAND will provide us with a tool to greatly help our demand planning and forecasting capabilities that will not only improve our bottom line but also further build upon our reputation for excellent service," said John Bewicke,  Supply Chain Director, Leighs Paints.
