CONFERENCE
HOW TO IMPROVE DEMAND AND SUPPLY BALANCING?

SCM FORUM IN COOPERATION WITH LOGY, INSPIRAGE AND ORACLE

About the Conference

Have you been able to establish a basic S&OP process and are wondering how to get to the next level of S&OP maturity curve? Maybe you are not satisfied with the results of your current S&OP process and would need to find ways of improving the outputs and engagement with stakeholders?

Or perhaps your demand and supply balancing provides robust and reliable operational plants but your team is struggling with overwhelming amounts of manual work and you are looking for ways to automate some of the most burdensome tasks?

In this event we will explore real world examples and use cases on how companies have been able to take their S&OP processes to the next level against Gartner’s maturity model. We will explore the different elements of successful transformations as well as identify typical pitfalls. We will also discuss the role of technology in these transitions and provide practical hints on successful ways of utilizing technology.

Event schedule

Establishing a well-functioning Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is possible. Yet, we often fail to estimate required effort, time and capabilities. Based on real-life experiences and recent research I will share what is needed for achieving S&OP excellence. You will learn:

- How organizational and individual maturity impact S&OP improvements?
- Why it is hard to benefit from available technologies and data?
- What is the role of descriptive and predictive analytics versus qualitative measures and judgement in S&OP decision-making?
Sales and Operations planning (S&OP), the cross-functional process to align the commercial processes of sales and marketing with the operational processes of supply, is having a renaissance. It is not a new process. Companies have worked on these processes for over 35 years; but only few succeed. Why is it so hard?

Issue #1: The Barrier of the Functional Organization. Align Metrics.
Issue #2: The Lack of Understanding of the Supply Chain as a Complex System.
Issue #3: Lack of Organizational Alignment.
Issue #4: The Lack of Organizational Balance.
Issue #5: Focus on the Translation of Planning to Execution.
S&OP is a journey and depending on your organization readiness you need to focus on different priorities as well that every company is different. Depending on your readiness the approach should be different. For this presentation, we will present case studies which illustrate how companies in different maturity levels have improved their capabilities and managed to climb up the S&OP maturity ladder. In this hands on presentation we refer to the Gartner model of S&OP maturity in order to show what tools and activity have proven successful. Gartner model introduces a five-stage model and provides more granular description and advice for each stage.

Stage #1: React
Stage #2: Anticipate
Stage #3: Integrate
Stage #4: Collaborate
Stage #5: Orchestrate
