PRE-CONFERENCE ADVANCED PRACTICES IN S&OP FORUM: BEYOND THE BASICS

SUNDAY | SUNDAY | 1:30 PM – 5:00 PM

Advanced Executive S&OP: Beyond the Basics

A lot has happened since Sales & Operations Planning was

born. It has grown and evolved into a far more powerful

process than it was initially.

This panel will examine two aspects of S&OP:

1. Where is it today? How specifi cally has the process evolved

and expanded over the 30 years since its creation

2. Where is it going? How will it look ten or so years into the

future?

The presenters will include fi ve practitioners from companies

who are successfully S&OP to manage their businesses far

better than they could before

Key learnings include how S&OP is being advanced to:

• Support earnings calls to corporate or Wall Street

• Provide key suppliers with S&OP-generated information,

enabling better on-time deliveries from heavily constrained

sources of supply

• Coordinate and integrate global businesses

• Generate superior new product launch plans, making the

launches more “sure-footed” and hence more successful

• Generate superior demand plans and forecasts in highly

complex situations

• And More!

How to Align Sales & Operations IIPlanning with Strategic Intent

This workshop will explore utilizing S&OP as a strategic

tool, not a one-size-fi ts-all plan. Businesses with strategies

such as customer relationships or product/service

differentiation require a different emphasis. These sectors

include specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and

drink, fast moving consumer goods and hi-tech. Learn

the strategic differences in S&OP implementation from a

case study showing how the S&OP process changes when

the strategy changes from cost leadership to product

differentiation. Join us to learn how S&OP drives strategy,

leading to different choices and better response to the

supply chain.

You will learn:

• How to align the S&OP process with the business

strategy

5 Conducting Effective Monthly Consensus MeetingsThe monthly consensus meeting gathers members of different functional groups, each with their own perspective, with the goal of agreeing on a single forecast number. Participants make judgments about the forecast to reach a consensus and all plans are based on that number, benefi tting the entire company’s operation. The consensus meeting facilitator uses fact-based data to highlight issues that require discussion. Using skills and techniques gained through experience, and by establishing ground rules, the facilitator keeps the meeting on point and participants

1 Using Exception Management to Improve Demand Planning & ExecutionSome of the lessons learned in the signifi cant downturn in the economy and associated volatility in demand, include the need to identify and manage exceptions in both planning and execution. Applying exception management as part of the forecasting process improves the demand plan and a review after the forecast is used to determine what went wrong. During the month, exceptions to plan should be identifi ed and actions taken to avoid excess inventories or stock-outs. This session will address the role of exception management in demand planning and execution of plans.

You will learn:• To develop and use business-specifi c exception rules• How to leverage software to monitor and provide

action alerts• How to incorporate exception management in the

planning & execution process

20 How Forecast Accuracy Impacts Inventory CostsForecasting is an important factor in controlling inventory levels. Learning to control the forecast accuracy and the associated variables helps companies to maintain inventory at appropriate levels. Understanding all of the variables within the supply chain is another essential element of this process. Without understanding all the components of the supply chain and their relationships inventory levels are sure to be insuffi cient or infl ated. Navistar has recently implemented a new system to better track forecast accuracy and some of the associated variables as well as leverage the opportunity to work closer with fulfi llment teams to drive collaborative inventory management within the organization.

You will learn:• How to recognize variables associated with forecast accuracy

for inventory levels• Developing a collaborative environment within the organization• Challenges of implementing a new system

10 Developing the Baseline Forecasting ProcessWe all know that baseline forecasts can provide the unbiased input to the forecast decision-making process. However, defi ning the baseline forecast and how it benefi ts the organization can be a challenge.

11 Driving S&OP Decision Making through Forecasting S&OP is anchored on cross-functional alignment, and it begins with an accurate, unbiased, and mutually supported, consensus demand plan. S&OP process leaders must identify the potential obstacles that can prevent this result, and act quickly to ensure “win-win” results that enable the balancing of demand and supply, and the attainment of business objectives. The approach outlined in this session provides insights on generating process credibility through optimized decision making, and value generation across functions.

You will learn:• Why S&OP Processes sometimes fail• How to handle disagreements within the consensus demand

planning process with a “win-win” outcome• How S&OP scenario planning can effectively mitigate risks

17 Fostering Great Demand Planning & Forecasting TalentWhile most companies would like to forget the recession, it actually has done wonders for the stability of the planning profession. With cash being king, executives realize that a strong cash position starts with a solid forecast. Employers are still hiring forecasters, leaving them largely unaffected by the devastating unemployment many sectors are reeling from. The downside is that solid demand planning talent is becoming more diffi cult to fi nd. Now that the economy is turning in the positive direction, come learn what leading organizations are doing to attract and retain their talent.

You will learn:• How the hiring environment has changed and how that

impacts your team• Those things that motivate your team – you’ll be surprised• How to leverage the power of networking to build

your team’s brand

18 Calculating the Return On Investment for Supply Chain ImprovementsIn 2007, the Coast Guard purchased a supply chain management tool to help manage the aviation spare part inventory. Since the Coast Guard does not fi t the usual business model, standard Return On Investment (ROI) metrics did not apply, and could not be easily modifi ed to accurately refl ect inventory value. A robust investment metric that included the Coast Guards specifi c needs was called for. The metric needed to include inventory decisions that are evaluated independently each fi scal year, exclusion of yearly initial inventory levels and no long term decision making. This presentation will discuss how we calculated our nontraditional ROI metric.

You will learn:• How to calculate supply chain ROI in an organization

that does not sell its inventory• Learn the process of creating and calculating a

nontraditional ROI • How the Coast Guard’s aviation unit manages its supply chain

20 How Forecast Accuracy Impacts Inventory CostsForecasting is an important factor in controlling inventory levels. Learning to control the forecast accuracy and the associated variables helps companies to maintain inventory at appropriate levels. Understanding all of the variables within the supply chain is another essential element of this process. Without understanding all the components of the supply chain and their relationships inventory levels are sure to be insuffi cient or infl ated. Navistar has recently implemented a new system to better track forecast accuracy and some of the associated variables as well as leverage the opportunity to work closer with fulfi llment teams to drive collaborative inventory management within the organization.

You will learn:• How to recognize variables associated with forecast accuracy

for inventory levels

• Developing a collaborative environment within the organization• Challenges of implementing a new system

21 Mergers & Acquisitions—Can Two Demand Planning Process Models Coexist?Even in this economy, companies continue to grow through acquisition. Along with growth, acquisition presents many challenges, including choosing the correct demand planning process. This presentation explores the challenges facing Teva Pharmaceuticals, a global decentralized organization, in choosing a robust, appropriate, demand planning process for the entire company. Learn how Teva examined both models and questioned whether two process models, both seemingly sound and correct, can be integrated into the same organization. Join us while we examine the process, offer criteria to assess each process model and derive a solution that will promote success in the current market.

You will learn: • How to compare/contrast demand planning processes• How to evaluate the right process model for your operating

market• How Teva proposes to resolve the challenges that come from

inheriting two demand planning processes from acquisition
