Journey to Business Excellence: An Industry View of Best Practice Sales & Operations Planning
Business today runs at the speed of information. Companies often lack good visibility into their markets and supply chains, causing executives to scramble to adjust to rapidly changing conditions. Many times they find that they cannot analyze their options accurately enough or fast enough. Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) concentrates on bringing all departments into alignment. It focuses on developing and measuring common metrics that drive business success – allowing companies to be proactive rather than reactive.
You are invited to join supply chain experts from Oracle, Oliver Wight, and Inspirage for an informative event where, together, we will explore valuable techniques and approaches for successfully implementing the critical integrated management process. We will provide you with a summary of the level and nature of performance improvements that S&OP can bring to your business, including:
- Improving working capital by 25% or more
- Reducing obsolete inventory by 50% or more
- Increase sales revenue by 10% or more
- Understanding the financial impacts of your options that come out of the S&OP process
Guest speaker – Jason Nelson, Supply Chain Manager, Smith Services Division, Schlumberger will share improvements that his division has made by leveraging Oracle Value Chain Planning applications.
Date: Thursday, January 20, 2011 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Location: Houston, TX
Each attending guest will receive a complimentary copy of the Oliver Wight book,
