Manufacturers are constantly trying to balance customer service, inventory levels and plant capacity utilization. As sales decline, many companies are saddled with excess inventory. As sales increase, they find capacity constraints within operations and with key suppliers. These situations often challenge sales, finance, materials and manufacturing to work as a team as their individual objectives tend to be in conflict.
Leadership teams in many manufacturing companies have adopted Sales, Operations and Inventory Planning (SOIP) as a viable solution. SOIP is a business process that provides the long view into sales trends and capacity needs, all tied to the business plan. SOIP provides the direction to drive sales, inventory and operations and offers the flexibility to analyze and react when things don’t go according to plan. SOIP is not a new software system, but is Microsoft Excel based and uses data from existing ERP systems.
In this webinar, you will discover the three main steps that result in a successful SOIP process. Presenters will share how your business can benefit from SOIP and how it works with your existing ERP system. You will gain insight into the people from your company that need to participate in your SOIP process and why. In addition, presenters will share templates you can use to get started right away.
