How rational is the decision making in your S&OP process?

• Alfons Willemsen (partner at Involvation;  focus area S&OP).

What is the S&OP Programme all about:

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is back on the radar for many companies. A key business process, S&OP links an organisation’s corporate strategic plan with daily operations plans and also balances demand and supply. While S&OP is easy to understand, implementation is not just about getting the technical aspects right.

The Sales & Operations Planning programme explains what drives and hinders collaboration in the supply chain. Managers from different areas with very different incentives have to work together towards a common goal and breakdown longstanding functional silos. If the financial crisis has taught us anything, it is that individuals and teams do not always act in a rational way.

RSM and Involvation have developed a two-day workshop where the realities of human behavior are integrated as part of S&OP tools, methods and framework. In a unique setting you can experience the/your actual behavior in a S&OP decision making environment with the business simulation The Fresh Connection.

For Who: 

For all functional expertises who work together in the Supply Chain. This sessions is extremely useful when attended by different stakeholders from the same company.

When:

The next session of the workshop will be October 20&21 2012. For more information and to subscribe please visit: www.rsm.nl/s-op
