CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS), a hybrid enterprise
software provider of on-premise and cloud deployments, announced
today, that Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, the second largest
Coca-Cola bottler in the U.S., has already seen an initial two
percent improvement in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) within
five months of implementing CDC Factory, a manufacturing operations
management (MOM) solution, at their facility in Roanoke, VA.
Headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., Coca-Cola Bottling Co.
Consolidated is a leader in manufacturing, selling, and
distributing carbonated and noncarbonated beverages, including soft
drinks, water, teas, juices, and energy drinks. With the completion
of the implementation in Roanoke, Coca-Cola Bottling Co.
Consolidated now plans to implement CDC Factory at its four other
production facilities located in Charlotte, N.C., Nashville, Tenn.,
Mobile, Ala., and Bishopville, S.C.
The implementation of CDC Factory in the Roanoke plant utilized
CDC Software’s change management methodology, which has helped
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated raise OEE levels. As Coca-Cola
continues to offer a widening product portfolio, Coca-Cola Bottling
Co. Consolidated is faced with increasingly complex manufacturing
challenges, such as maintaining numerous stock keeping units (SKUs)
and the related changeovers. CDC factory has helped to address
these challenges and improve operating efficiencies across all
their production lines.
The Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated Supply Chain team had
previous experiences with lengthy design-and- build projects, so
they particularly liked CDC Factory’s packaged software
functionality and its rapid implementation capabilities. The CDC
Software consultants initially performed the Factory Profit Audit,
a CDC Factory benchmark study, which provided the Coca-Cola
Consolidated team with a clear and focused project scope that was
cost-effective, pragmatic and identified actionable
recommendations.
“We especially liked how CDC Factory drives action on the
manufacturing floor where our employees take ownership of
performance and improvement,” said Steve Westphal, executive vice
president, Operations and Systems of Coca-Cola Bottling Co.
Consolidated. “With CDC Factory’s capabilities of real-time plant
intelligence, coupled with a change program embedded in the
deployment activities, I’m delighted we have delivered a 2 percent
efficiency improvement in 5 months.”
“We are delighted that the second largest Coca-Cola bottler has
delivered such strong results with CDC Factory,” said Mark
Sutcliffe, president of CDC Factory product line, CDC Software. “A
two percent improvement at the Coca-Cola bottler’s plant represents
significant productivity gains. We believe CDC Factory will
continue to help address the key challenges for Coca-Cola Bottling
Co. Consolidated by helping them deliver rapid performance
improvements throughout their plants.”
CDC Factory is a packaged manufacturing operations management
system that transforms manufacturing performance by empowering

floor data capture, paperless quality management, packaged metrics
like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), manufacturing analytics
and executive scorecards. Pre-built continuous Improvement
capabilities combined with an implementation model focused on
