Featured Resource Description

How to get started in Sales and Operations Planning		 A 50 minute presentation on how to get started in S&OP by Supply Chain Consultant’s Jane Lee, Vice President, Supply Chain Solutions. Presentation includes decision-making in the supply chain, what constitutes world class S&OP, and how to get from where you are to where you want to be within S&OP.

Jane Lee has more than 20 years experience in implementing, supporting, and managing supply chain systems and processes. At DuPont, she created and ran, for 10 years, the Global S&OP process for a billion dollar specialty polymers business. Currently, she oversees the ongoing development of SCC's supply chain planning expertise, independent of software.

Sales and Operations Planning 		A fresh look at the supply chain and why S&OP is critical to the success of a company, in common sense terms.

It clarifies that a company needs to focus on the right problem, create the will within the organization, and use the right tools to get the S&OP process under control.

Making Your Supply Chain a Competitive Advantage: Implementing S&OP 		Businesses, of course, are at various stages along the path to effective S&OP. Some are beginning from scratch, with no formal processes or tools in place. Others have software “pieces” like demand planning and/or supply planning. Such enabling tools are necessary for all but the simplest of businesses -- necessary, but not sufficient. Tying these “pieces” together in an effective S&OP process will exponentially increase the benefit provided by the tools alone and allow your supply chain to truly become a competitive advantage.

It's Not a Meeting - It's a Culture Change 		S&OP is a process to orchestrate the different functions and not just a monthly meeting. Sufficient attention must be given to the process change issues - this article explains why.
