What to expect?

During this 1-day course, you'll learn how to develop a powerful Supply Chain strategy based on your corporate strategy. We start with the fundamentals of a supply chain strategy and end with an interactive S&OP-stimulation.

You'll discover and experience:

  • Translating business strategy into Supply Chain strategy
  • Combining key models into one coherent vision
  • Supply Chain segmentation – identifying and optimizing multiple value chains within one organization
  • S&OP as a tactical and strategic steering tool – processes, best practices, and common pitfalls
  • And foremost: how to implement into practice via a unique S&OP business game

Why will this course help you further?

A well-thought-out supply chain strategy is crucial today for an organisation to make a difference. But a strategy alone is not enough: the key lies in its effective implementation.

This is where the S&OP process comes in. Sales & Operations Planning is the bridge between strategy and operations. It ensures that departments work together more effectively, that decisions are better substantiated and that your organisation can respond more quickly to changes in demand or capacity. Those who embed S&OP effectively build greater predictability, flexibility and resilience throughout the chain.
