Kimberly-Clark Optimizes its Supply Chain with MFG.com's LiveSource Supplier Management Tool

By Calvin Azuri, TMCnet Contributor

Kimberly-Clark, developer of popular brands such as Kleenex, Scott, HUGGIES, Pull-Ups, Kotex and Depend, recently announced it is using LiveSource, a cloud-based e-sourcing and supplier management tool from MGF.com, to optimize its supply chain and to enhance its business operations.


In a statement, Mark J. Rosenquist, North America Procurement with Kimberly-Clark, said that, "By using the MFG.com platform, our team was able to be much more efficient. We used to accomplish around 100 RFQs a year. Now, we can complete around 5,000-6,000 projects without increasing headcount whatsoever. The more bids we are able to perform, the more cost savings we see.”

“Additionally,” he said, “having the virtual marketplace of qualified suppliers is invaluable."

By leveraging LiveSource, Kimberly-Clark will be able to take advantage of the much-needed technology infrastructure to support the management of its global supply chain.

Designed to be both configurable and scalable, the LiveSource platform is based on open standards and has been developed to allow easy integration with other technology systems. MFG.com’s LiveSource is an on-demand solution that mitigates any technology investments on the part of Kimberly-Clark, and in addition to optimizing the company’s supply chain, will reduce the cycle time for most of its sourcing projects.

Mitch Free, founder and CEO at MFG.com, said that, "Kimberly-Clark has been a strategic partner of ours over the years and we are excited to continue our relationship with them through our LiveSource product.”

Kimberly-Clark has been a pioneering force in developing and optimizing new and more efficient methods of managing and improving their supply chain. The decision to use the LiveSource supplier management tool is just another step in its commitment to improve its competitive edge and better serve its customers.

Kimberly-Clark and its league of global brands are recognized across more than 175 countries.
