*THIS IS A VOIP ONLY SESSION.*
You will need a headset or computer speakers to hear audio.
In this webinar you will learn how an integrated S&OP framework can cover all of your demand channels such as in-store sales, e-commerce, wholesale, 3rd party marketplace and others. This can become the heartbeat of your organization providing a viable plan the whole company can work towards, allowing you to integrate the topline sales dimension with all aspects needed to physically execute your processes, production and volume plans. This webinar will also outline how a longer horizon demand plan can be used to drive necessary changes to your physical operating infrastructure to optimize your service levels while also controlling your costs. Last but not least I will reveal Target’s own approach to integrated company planning frameworks – I’ll show you how to identify systemic constraints which hamper operational excellence and how to manage the trade-off between capital vs. operational expenditures.
You will learn:
- Introduction to S&OP in the context of Omnichannel Management covering physical networks, data and demand planning, and integration needs
- To develop an omnichannel S&OP framework that enables supply chain flow execution management
- How predictive data analytics sets your foundation not only for your internal inputs but also external drivers (economy, hyperlocal market disposition, customer/consumer sentiment, etc.)
