SALES & OPERATIONS PLANNING - 1 Day Seminar presented by Tom Wallace
Seminar Leader: Tom Wallace has long been regarded as the "Guru" on Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and is making a rare appearance on the West Coast for this seminar.
He has written many books on Sales, Master Scheduling, and S&OP. Tom's book, "Sales & Operations Planning", is the best-selling book in the field and is considered "the bible" by many companies that have successfully implemented the S&OP process
Many companies have difficulty in establishing valid game plans for sales, production, procurement, and inventory levels -- and then tying them to day-to-day scheduling and execution. As a result, performance suffers: customer service is poor, production and procurement are inefficient, inventories are too high or too low, or all of the above.
If you are faced with any of these issues, then this seminar is for you!
Description: Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is a set of decision-making processes to balance demand and supply, to integrate financial planning and operational planning, and to link high level strategic plans with day-to-day operations.
Sales & Operations Planning has emerged as an essential management tool in this age of rapid change, increasingly demanding customers, and supply chains that extend half a world away. It's rightfully been called "top management's handle on the business."
Tom Wallace will help you understand how to solve problems in meeting the business plan, minimize changes to the production environment to improve customer service, increase efficiency in production and procurement, and manage inventory more effectively through Sales and Operations Planning.

- Understand and explain where S&OP fits, what it does, and why it's important
