Temple-Inland

Temple-Inland Forest Products Corporation produces a variety of building products including lumber, particleboard, gypsum wallboard and fiberboard in 19 plants throughout the United States and Canada and also manages 2.2 million acres of forestland, which are primarily located in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia. As a global lumber and paper products manufacturer with hundreds of suppliers and business partners Temple Inland Forest Products was faced with the challenge of managing thousands of existing parts while at the same time sourcing, qualifying and approving new parts for ongoing new product development. As time to market pressures continue to increase, Temple selected Savvion BusinessManager to manage the processes associated with sourcing and qualifying new parts to meet critical scheduling requirements.
