S&OP will without doubt continue to be on the top of the agenda, due to the fact that corporations during the crisis have leaned out any safety stocks and now have to face more volatile and unpredictable variations in demand than ever before. To meet this challenge you need to coordinate sales expectations and activities with operations. If not, you will soon be unable to meet demand or you will be knocked out by high costs and stock levels. Also, supply chain risk exposure will increase, as the supply networks get longer and more complex, increasing the need to foresee and prevent risks. Supply chain transformation and development will simply be a key factor in gaining competitive edge and growth further.
With this in mind, Strategic Sales and Operations Planning Europe, will feature best practice case studies from all of Europe, showing you how strategic utilization of S&OP has supported various corporations in staying competitive in a demanding market.
Do not miss this unique opportunity to gain insights from and benchmark with the leading organizations across Europe.
I look forward to welcoming you in Copenhagen at May 23rd – May 25th!
Sincerely,
Josephine Elofs
