Hooker creates supply chain department, hires manager

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 6, 2005

Martinsville, Va. — Full-line manufacturer and importer Hooker Furniture has created a new Department of Supply Chain Management and hired Tim Grabus to head it as director of supply chain management.

The strategic move will ensure that Hooker dealers have "the right product at the right time to maximize their sales," said Doug Williams, president and chief operating officer.

Grabus reports to Williams. Before joining Hooker, Grabus worked in supply planning and sourcing for Sara Lee Underwear and Champion Products.

The department will be responsible for forecasting, inventory planning and scheduling for Hooker's domestic and imported products. The company said it has made significant investments in logistics software and programming to improve forecasting, inventory management and sales force/customer collaboration.

"Hooker's rapid growth, the addition of new product categories and thousands of SKUs, numerous worldwide vendors, multiple manufacturing facilities and several warehouse locations have created the need for this new department and software investment," Williams said.
