Complimentary Workshop on Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning

Description

What ripple-effects do inconsistent buying patterns and an unsynchronized supply chain have on your company’s performance?

On Tuesday, March 11th, Lake Shore Cryotronics and Definity Partners will be facilitating a workshop on SIOP (Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning) to demonstrate these effects and promote steps to alleviate their impact. Each class size will be limited to maximize involvement, but you are welcome to extend the invitation to those who will both benefit from and contribute to the SIOP discussion.

Details about the SIOP Workshop

This three-hour session introduces the benefits of a robust SIOP process through a combination of hands-on simulation and participative classroom education.

The workshop overviews Definity's SIOP-Sync approach, providing an adaptable and robust framework that allows the Demand teams (Sales/Forecasting) and Supply teams (Operations/Purchasing/Inventory) to interface in a consistent and effective manner.  Participants are asked to share their experience and best practices or, where necessary, learn the best ways to get started.

Target attendees include key resources from either the Demand or Supply teams / functions mentioned above, as well as Executive Leadership who will play a key role in driving accountability and decision making.
