Sales & Operations Planning "The Basics & Real World Challenges of Implementation"
Please join APICS New Haven Chapter for an exciting topic of Sales & Operations Planning "The Basics & Real World Challenges of Implementation " presented by Dan Marino a senior partner of Marino Associates.
Sales & Operations Planning has been in place since Dick Ling introduced it in the early 1980's. Continuous improvement is a key tenet of this process. This presentation will take the audience through two critical phases.
Next, the presentation will guide the attendees through the major challenges in implementing and successfully maintaining a formal Sales & Operations Planning Process. The implementation challenges that will be reviewed in detail, based on the presenters' hands on experience are: Creating a sense of urgency at the executive level; Establishing valid groups of products [or NOT]; Getting past the master schedule mentality and restrictions; Creating valid, blended rate bills of resources; and creating the culture of continuous improvement and discipline to hold on to the new behaviors necessary to ensure that the process becomes strong enough to replace the previous traditions.
This presentation will be supported by actual cases. It is intended for those seeking a thorough introduction to Sales & Operations Planning and for those who have started the process but may be bogged down.
Presentation Outline:
• Introduction of what Sales & Operations Planning is all about
• Discussion of critical steps
• Discussion of implementation challenges
• Real world example of approaching blended rate bills of resources
• Q&A
