By implementing a SIOP process you’ll be in a better position to leverage your resources for a speedier inventory velocity. Inventory velocity not only accelerates cash flow but it also can contribute to margin improvement. How do we turn inventory faster and keep our money in motion vs. stagnating in the back of our warehouse?
I find that the vast majority of my clients get hung up in finding the "perfect solution", in analyzing "one more" set of data and the like.
Of all the overlapping metrics available to executives the best ones enhance SIOP (Sales Inventory Operations Planning), also known as S&OP, and offer the most vital information for running a business.
Have you heard of the PDCA model (Plan, Do, Check, Act)?
Many of my manufacturing, supply chain and distribution clients dread budgeting time when they should be looking at it as an opportunity.
Implementing a successful SIOP rollout can be achieved without complex systems by focusing on demand, supply, and executive alignment.
Supply chain optimization focuses on demand planning, inventory accuracy, and collaboration to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction
Success begins and ends with your customers.
Companies that conduct effective Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning (SIOP) are able to balance supply with demand and exceed customer expectations.
