CDW Corporation (NASDAQ:CDWC), a leading provider of technology
products to business, government and education, was recognized
today by Logistics Management magazine as Gold Winner of the 2007
Logistics Management Best Practices Award. This award acknowledges
CDW�s commitment to excellence in managing the entire supply chain
process from product procurement, to the reception and flow of
products throughout the distribution center, to the final delivery
to our valued customers. CDW was recognized by Logistics Management
for the operational excellence of its distribution facilities and
its Overnight to California Program, a program developed to quicken
delivery time and improve customer service to the western region;
the initiative cut delivery times in half and reduced express
shipping costs by 40 percent in 2006. The new distribution center
more than tripled CDW�s capacity for shipping IT products. CDW was
also cited for its inbound efficiencies, specifically, the CDW
Routing Guide that helped set clear standards for suppliers and
inbound carriers. Since the Routing Guide�s implementation, 98
percent of CDW�s carriers are compliant with company standards,
which has resulted in improved suppliers' order cycle times. �The
Logistics Management Award is a testament to our commitment to
quality, operational efficiency and excellence in every aspect of
our supply chain operation,� said Doug Eckrote, senior vice
president, operations, CDW. �Our new distribution center has
fulfilled CDW�s objective of serving as a strategic logistics
location and has enabled us to achieve closer proximity to our
customers in the Western half of the U.S.� �The editorial staffs of
Logistics Management and Supply Chain Management Review poured
through more than 80 submissions from some of the world�s savviest
logistics and supply chain practitioners,� said Michael Levans,
chief editor of Logistics Management. �But we unanimously agreed
that the CDW case study should receive the 2007 Gold Award. The CDW
team created and implemented a solution that not only met customer
needs, but cut its outbound shipping costs by 40 percent and set
clear new standards for suppliers and inbound carriers. This is one
of the most complete supply chain success stories we�ve covered.�
CDW supplies its customers with access to the industry's largest
in-stock inventories. Its just-in-time inventory model with two
state-of-the-art distribution centers allows CDW to provide the
latest technology with faster, more accurate delivery to its
customers. CDW operates a 450,000 square foot distribution center
in Vernon Hills, Illinois and recently launched its new Western
Distribution Center in North Las Vegas. At more than 513,000 square
feet, this new facility has a capacity of handling 96,000 outbound
cases of IT products every day. Logistics Management�s Best
Practices Awards is an annual program that highlights some of the
top logistics and supply chain problem solvers around the world.
The Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners are chosen by the editorial
staffs of Logistics Management and Supply Chain Management Review
magazines based on reader submissions. Winners appear in the June
