DYKA Group connects its plastic pipes with innovative Supply chain dynamics
Press Release
GHENT, 2024 – DYKA Group, a leading manufacturer and distributor of plastic pipe systems, has started a transformative journey to enhance its supply chain operations. The main driver for improvement at DYKA Group is its supply chain planning process, currently organized primarily on a country-by-country basis. DYKA Group strives to obtain End-to-End Supply Chain visibility in order to avoid excess inventory and at the same time fully support the company’s goal of being even more customer-focused and operationally efficient.
The collaboration with Solventure introduces Kinaxis, a powerful solution equipped with extensive capabilities that will enable DYKA Group to streamline its supply chain processes.
“This strategic partnership highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality products while embracing innovation in our supply chain operations."
"Solventure’s expertise and the capabilities of Kinaxis will strengthen our group as a customer-centric and operationally agile industry leader in the competitive plastic pipe market.”, says Marc Vliegenberg, VP Supply Chain at DYKA Group.
In just five months, DYKA Group anticipates achieving end-to-end visibility across its supply chain, taking a new major step in the company’s journey towards reducing excess inventory and making more informed decisions. With a specific emphasis on supply and inventory planning, DYKA Group recognizes the unique challenges of stocking “air” due to the low product density of plastic piping.
The implementation of Kinaxis not only promises efficiency gains but also empowers the plastic pipe manufacturer and distributor to focus on achieving tangible results in weeks, thus enhancing their overall time-to-value.
“The journey toward a dynamic and streamlined supply chain is more than a collaboration; it’s a commitment to redefining operational excellence."
"Solventure is looking forward to supporting the supply chain journey of DYKA Group and fortifying their position as industry leaders by connecting innovative solutions”, says Bram Desmet, CEO at Solventure.
