JDA®
Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS), The Supply Chain Company®,
today announced that Skyworks
Solutions, Inc., an innovator of high reliability analog
semiconductors, has implemented JDA®
Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and also selected JDA®

Agile Business Process Platform (ABPP) in the second quarter of
2012. The company is using JDA Sales & Operations Planning to help drive
improved demand planning across its organization and plans to use JDA
Factory Planner for supporting production planning and scheduling within
its assembly and test operations.
Skyworks offers high-performance analog products supporting automotive,

The JDA S&OP solution extends beyond traditional demand-supply matching,
and aligns S&OP with corporate financial goals to help drive
cross-functional alignment. From forecasting to inventory and supply
balancing, this level of enterprise-wide visibility provides companies
with the data needed to help achieve strategic objectives, maximize
profits and increase customer service levels.
JDA's factory planning solution helps companies develop optimized
production plans while simultaneously considering material, capacity and
due date constraints. By using JDA Factory Planner, planners and
schedulers have the ability to intelligently improve manufacturing
facility performance to meet business objectives such as enhancing
due-date performance, reducing lead times, improving throughput, and
decreasing inventory and operating expenses.
"JDA's S&OP solution is easy to use and enhances the efficiency of our
internal processes for hub and global demand planning," said Arif
