Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS), the leading provider of supply chain management solutions, today announced that SUBARU CORPORATION (SUBARU) has expanded its work with Kinaxis to improve demand forecasting operations, optimize inventory and increase operational efficiency.
The company's U.S. subsidiary is already using Kinaxis for accessory and service parts planning for its automotive business and has optimized demand planning and inventory to ensure adequate product supply.

Kazutaka Saito, senior general manager of SUBARU’s Parts & Accessories Division said, "We hope to achieve an efficient supply of service parts that will meet our customers' needs while keeping inventory levels under control."
Claire Rychlewski, global executive vice president of sales at Kinaxis said, "We are excited to continue to support SUBARU's global supply chain as the automotive industry undergoes a period of significant change.
