In this workshop we will explore what S&OP looks like as well as what it might look like without S&OP in an organization. Many organizations are in the process or have implemented some form of S&OP, many are still considering this concept. This workshop will explain the steps necessary to implement S&OP, and possible benefits to implementing S&OP.
Who should attend:
- Individuals exploring what is S&OP and will it make sense for our organization
- Individuals just starting implementation of S&OP
- Those who have already implemented S&OP but may not be getting the return you expected
The session will be interactive so come prepared to be involved, share your experience and who knows even be involved in the simulated S&OP process.
