SAS/Foresight Webinar Series

The next installment of the quarterly SAS/Foresight webinar series is next Thursday, September 19, at 1:00pm EDT.

Demand and Supply Integration: Achieving S&OP's Strategic Promise

Join Dr. Mark Moon, Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management at the University of Tennessee, to discover the benefits of integrating demand forecasting within a comprehensive demand and supply integration (DSI) process. These methods can help you create demand forecasts that are far more accurate and useful.

 You'll learn:  

  • Why so many sales and operations planning (S&OP) implementations fall short of expectations. 
  • How demand and supply integration (DSI) differs from -- and expands upon -- S&OP.
  • The key characteristics of successful DSI implementations. 
  • How to approach demand forecasting as a management process.
  • The best practices to adopt when using qualitative and quantitative forecasting techniques.
  • How to recognize -- and address --  the symptoms of failure to sufficiently integrate demand and supply.
