"The Practical Approach to S&OP" Webcast Explores Three Principles for Success

Live Event Presented by Logility and Deloitte Reveals Sales and Operations Planning Best Practices

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Logility Inc., a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, and Deloitte will share step-by-step best practices for pursuing sales and operations planning (S&OP) excellence. The online event will discuss the three principles for success: make it easy to implement, easy to execute and easy to sustain. This live webcast, "The Practical Approach to S&OP," is hosted by APICS and will begin Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 11:00 am ET.


Today companies view sales and operations planning as a means to execute corporate strategy. A successful S&OP process aligns an organization strategically to execute tactically. Often the biggest obstacles to S&OP excellence stem from complexity - it may be too difficult to gather data, there may be too many meetings, the process may be too hard to govern, and key data too difficult to analyze and report. Ultimately, the process may become too hard to execute. Leading supply chain teams have discovered that true S&OP success flows from practical thinking. The journey to a successful S&OP process takes time and persistence to develop but no matter where you start, the journey is well worth the effort.
