Making Sales & Operations Planning Stick in Sticky Environments
Anita Tadayon , Director, Demand Planning, S&OP

Integrated Business Planning - Leadership & Technical Challenges Towards Virtualising the S&OP Process
Bjorn Madsen , Researcher for LEGO Global Distribution & Logistics
LEGO
LEGO recently performed a case study on the impact of not only the quality of decision making, but also the impact of delay caused by the duration of the decision process. The results had profound impact as no such combined study had been seen before. The presentation will go through an outline of the organisational, technological and political challenges which were identified following the study, a discussion of what the next steps may be which LEGO needs to take, and which characteristics the tools have which LEGO will need in the near future.

11.30 - 12.00

Managing Uncertainty with Integrated Business Planning
Anne Marie Kilkenny, Managing Partner
Oliver Wight EAME
The last five years have seen businesses having to deal with unparalleled levels of uncertainty. The debate continues - when will we come out of recession, and how quickly? The view of many organisations still seems to be that S&OP only “works” in a stable environment and so devote a large amount of time to working around the process. In this session we will demonstrate how Integrated Business Planning is the key to helping organisations deal effectively with uncertainty and make timely decisions in order to secure a profitable future.

12.00 - 12.30

An Innocent S&OP Journey
Emily Tredget, Manager, S&OP
Innocent Drinks
The first day of trading for Innocent Drinks was 24th April 1999, when it sold 24 smoothies in London. Now, across Europe, Innocent sells c. 4 million units of smoothies and juice per week, alongside kids drinks, and lunchtime 'veg pots'. In tandem with this huge growth and increase in operational and organisational complexity, Innocent transitioned from unstable immature systems, multi-forecasts, and lack of process or ownership; to a one-forecast business with an optimum organisational structure and a platform for a world class S&OP process. Emily Tredget and Ami Komoda will be sharing this transformation: how a start-up entrepreneurial business set itself up for success, and how the process has adapted over the last few years.

LUNCH

How Combined Forecasts Can Increase the Effectiveness of S&OP/IBP
Sebastian Guerrero, Senior Supply & Demand Planner
Danone
Often times, reaching to the agreed forecast efficiently and without many arguments between stakeholders can be a challenge, even when the company counts on a mature S&OP/IBP process. I will present an innovative approach that benefits from applying a simple -though effective- mathematical methodology in a tailor-designed process that tackles common behavioral issues regularly found in companies during the forecasting process, creating at the same time better conditions for enabling an improved effectiveness in S&OP/IBP. Experiences will be shared over how this pilot innovation in one of Danone's Country Business Unit is yielding excellent results...

14.30 - 15.00

How to Implement a S&OP Approach in a Service World ?
Claire Fauquette, Director, S&OP Europe
Hertz
S&OP is a concept fairly mature in FMCG/industrial companies but relatively new in the service sector. How does S&OP look like in a service world such as the rent-a-car business? How can it be implemented quickly and sustained? How to make the concept a reality in the day-to-day working life at all levels within an organisation? Claire will share the major accomplishments and challenges during the 'S&OP journey' she started 2 years ago at Hertz International, putting in perspective her previous experience.

M&A integration challenges in the context of sub-contracting based 3PL model
Francesco Ciocia, Manager, EMEA Supply Chain Program
Hewlett Packard
From a real case study to a global qualitative scrutiny. With the ever increasing strategic weight M&A are gaining it comes also an increased integration challenge in a global supply chain environment which is more and more dominated by sub-contracting models. In order to ensure global geographical coverage, 3PL players are engaging with a variety of local LSPs which often represent a barrier at the time of providing complex value-added solutions requiring high degree of knowhow and standardization. The presentation will start from a real challenge involving one of the main players in the electronic arena to subsequently expand into a global qualitative scrutiny of the sometimes challenging integration efforts in case of a highly fragmented sub-contracting model.

16.30 - 17.00

How to Improve Planning Accuracy in Rapid Changing Markets
Miguel Suarez Vasquez, Director, SC Center of Business Excellence

Fast moving consumer good companies have been facing in the last years a common problem: markets are becoming more volatile, consumer behavior does not follow past patterns any longer. How shall a push supply chain efficiently work without forecast accuracy?

E2E Planning; S&OP or IBP?
Tako de Haan, Director, European Planning
Nike
Most companies start their S&OP process by aligning Demand and Supply. It is a good beginning but there is a lot more to it before calling it S&OP. How to build a solid S&OP process and further develop it to become IBP is a journey. This presentation will give you handy insights, tips and tricks on how to develop a mature and comprehensive end to end planning process to maximize your companies profit.

Passion for Supply Chain, Quality, Environment and Safety in Combination with Fun
Maria Franksen, Director, Supply Chain
Volvo Powertrain
Our core values are included in everything we aim to do. We are constantly seeking continuous improvements with a sustainability. Example: By improving our packaging instruction for one component in a frequent flow we could reduce the transport and handling costs with 50%, increase the safety for people and goods at the same time reducing the CO2 emissions with 21 tons annually. The solution is so simple it almost make you laugh but the result is no laughing matter. By encouraging our co-workers to bring forward their ideas can we all make a difference. We celebrate our victories, something we are making into an art form.”

Global Supply Chain Challenges And Preliminary Answers - A Semiconductor Industry Example
Hans Ehm, Principal, Supply Chain Innovations
Infineon
Global supply chain operational excellence is a competitive advantage for customer oriented high-tech and semiconductor companies. Besides being agile, adaptable and aligned to master the volatile market, sustainability is a key challenge. Successful examples to manage those challenges are shown: Processes as well as global internal and academic education based on SCC SCOR Model, Mathematical-based Decision Support Systems using OR methods and best practice in Master Data Management and integration of best of breed IT Tools. Hot topics, like end-to-end approaches with the semiconductor supply chain science centers in Dublin and Singapore and specific education programs including serious games and long distance academic programs will be shown from this supply chain organization that has won several awards.

S&OP for Power Systems and Services. A Decade of Growth Despite Downturn
Andrew Martin, Director, S&OP
Rolls-Royce
Why would a business with an order book of five times annual revenue need Sales and Operations Planning? When does planning for low volume long leadtime products differ from FMCG and when is it similar? How do you manage a supply chain where parts for a single product come from numerous countries? Andrew will present aspects of Rolls-Royce's approach to different high technology markets as a case study you can compare with your own experience.

12.00 - 12.30

Demand Validation Process - A Cross Functional Task
Bjoern-neal Kirchner, Head of Supply Chain Management
BASF
The increase in economic volatility in the recent years made it more and more difficult for us to generate a consistent demand plan. As a result, quality of production planning and business steering suffered. In a cross-functional re-engineering project, we reviewed our entire demand validation process. Biggest success factor for higher quality output was to tap into all functional dimensions available in our team, and implement challenging validation steps. Through intensive change management activities, we were able to ensure buy-in of all functions, previously not part of the demand data generation process.
