JDA Software Group has announced that CJ Corporation, a leading manufacturer and seller of refined sugar, wheat flour, animal feed, food seasonings, medicines, processed meat and other household products in South Korea, has implemented JDA Demand, Master Planning, Market Manager, Collaborate and Fulfillment, all powered by Manugistics, as part of a supply and demand chain system upgrade to derive maximum synergies from its core business areas.

CJ Corporation recently completed a benchmarking program with JDA Software’s solutions in Japan that resulted in significant superiority over SAP APO, the competing supply chain software solution previously utilized by CJ Corporation. To streamline deployment, JDA Software entered into a strategic alliance with Korea’s EXE Consulting and Technologies to effectively implement supply and demand chain solutions for this leading South Korean food and packaged goods manufacturer.
