S&OP: A Journey from Chaos to Prosperity Demand Solutions Webinar

Описание к видео S&OP: A Journey from Chaos to Prosperity Demand Solutions Webinar

Watch the replay of one of 2015’s best attended and best received webinars on sales & operations planning (S&OP): “S&OP: A Journey from Chaos to Prosperity.” This webinar was co-sponsored by IndustryWeek.

Imagine walking into a new job where the company's demand and supply planning processes are driven by fantasy sales forecasts and ad hoc production plans scribbled in pencil. The business, by the way, is highly seasonal, and yet capacity planning is an annual afterthought... until it's too late to catch up.

Maybe you've lived that scenario. Bill Whiteside walked into that environment during his career in consumer goods marketing. His immersion into the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process, and his direct experience in the contribution of the S&OP process to a significant financial turnaround changed his outlook and his career.

"When I saw the 'classic' S&OP data presentation and realized that my forecasts -- which until then were little more than theoretical projections to me -- would significantly impact our production and inventory plans, as well as our manufacturing and storage capacities, I was transformed. To that point I pretty much fit the stereotype of the genetically-optimistic, unaccountable marketing manager. After being exposed to -- and deeply involved in -- the S&OP process -- I evolved into a manager who... well... got it."

During this one hour webinar Whiteside shares the experiences he's gained as the manager of a successful Sales & Operations Planning process as well as his subsequent experiences working to help dozens of companies launch and manage their S&OP processes.

You will walk away with a list of insights and ideas for how to start -- or transform -- an S&OP process at your company. The webinar also addresses the extended impact promised by Integrated Business Planning (IBP).

Some of the feedback that we received from this webinar:

“Very informative presentation that followed a logical progression and gave us the details we needed to move to the next level in our S&OP process."

“Well prepared overview of S&OP. I have read a couple of books on S&OP and they were hopelessly tedious. This presentation was informative and the real-life examples made it more interesting.”

“Bill does a great job of explaining the process. His “story” and real life journey make it even more interesting.”

Bill Whiteside, author of the recent e-book 42 Principles of Forecasting, has distilled his 30 years of experience (and his work with more than 400 companies) into an innovative and effective 9-step process to help you analyze and improve your company’s forecast accuracy.
