PAUL, Minn., Aug 20, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- LWSN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- IKEA Components, a wholesale distribution part of The IKEA Group that is focused on developing, distributing and trading components, fittings and raw materials for the IKEA product range, recently used Lawson Opportunity Analyzer to help optimize its enterprise software implementation. The use of Lawson Opportunity Analyzer, from Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) helped IKEA Components identify the most significant opportunities for business process improvements and set company-wide strategic goals.

In addition, IKEA Components reports reductions in the time required to produce inventories and order execution costs.
