Presented by Sharon Nelson and Andrew McCall at SAPInsider #SCM2013 March 6th, 2013
This session reviews core elements of supply chain planning: Demand planning and forecasting, consensus forecasting, supply planning, DRP, CPFR, and the overarching S&OP process that drives these elements.
Examine components of the SAP solution, as well as discussion of how the SAP S&OP HANA environment (cloud-based) and the SAP instance need to be established to work together. Gain an understanding of the roles that different application components play. Learn how to design and blueprint so that enabling technology can be added to the process in stages. Get a clear vision of what a high-performing planning process looks like when these tools and practices are in place. Walk away from this session with a set of practical steps needed to take to get started on this process.

Challenges
Cross Functional Orientation: Requires that process, knowledge and
data flows from area to area, and through a multitude of systems and
views – creating a unified flow through these areas is easier said than
done!
Different Metrics & KPI’s that need to be “harmonized” to drive towards
and alignment with overall strategy
Data Explosion – Exponential: Requires and strategy to support –
collection and use are two different strategies.
Multiple Supply Chains Optimize on different points: Customer Facing
Supply Chain vs. Operational
External Focus: Market & Competitive Conditions continue to evolve and
change while we try and get everything else aligned. In many cases,
requirements are changing faster than we can address them.

Key Take Aways
• Companies Successful in the space are defining an overall
transformation in their planning culture – this is not a “project”
• Enabling Technology has “leap frogged” from the end of a
transformation to a DRIVER of transformation – this can help us
push maturity faster.
• It is critical to establish a vision and maturity model for YOUR
planning environment
• Establishing Success Criteria up front helps organization
persevere through what is a long cycle of change and keep an
eye on performance.
