Topic: Forecasting and Sales and Operations Planning

Speaker: Bob Abeyta, CPIM, CSCP, CLTD

Are you caught by surprise from unplanned sales from the field?  Do you feel like you can't get a handle on your Production Plan?  Is your forecast barely worth the piece of paper that it is printed on?  Well then you probably need to implement and/or update your Sales and Operations Planning Process! 

S&OP is a critical part of any business, no matter how big or small your organization is.  S&OP directly links the commercial activities going on outside of your company to the activities inside. It also ensures that your business plan has clarity for all departments, including: Operations, Sales, Supply Chain, Finance, and Executive Management.  

Come listen to how you can install, revamp, or reinvigorate your Sales and Operations Planning process and make it an invaluable part of your company.  You will hear the key points of the process including Forecasting, Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Reconciliation, and the Executive Meeting.  Also hear about how to optimize and leverage the S&OP process to really benefit your business.
