Konica Minolta will use the Servigistics solution to centralize management of global service parts inventory housed in multiple stocking locations throughout Japan, China, North America and Europe. With Servigistics, Konica Minolta will improve service part forecast accuracy and performance analysis, enabling the company to improve customer service levels while reducing inventory costs.

The Servigistics solution is fully integrated with Konica Minolta's existing SAP system.

"Konica Minolta is recognized around the world for its advanced technology and reliability," said Hiroshi Shimizu, General Manager of Servigistics Asia.

Konica Minolta joins a growing base of Servigistics clients in the Asia- Pacific (APAC) region, including such companies as Dainippon Screen, Toshiba Medical, Toshiba Tec and Nihon Unisys.
