In the last 30 years S&OP improved performance in many businesses. However, S&OP has not yet substantially delivered on its ultimate promise of enterprise wide resource management, rolling financial forecasting and strategy deployment. Worse, overall S&OP development and progress seems to have stalled.

There has been a lot of buzz around facial recognition software lately. And this buzz has come down on both side of the issue, from the benefits off facial recognition software to the dangers and privacy concerns. Certainly sounds like interesting technology. Supply chain woes could worsen as China imposes new Covid lockdowns.

by Trevor Miles I have been in the advanced planning and scheduling (APS) space since 1995 when I joined i2 Technologies in Europe. Before that I was in management consulting doing what would be called supply chain design or reengineering today. Now they want to deploy an S&OP process. Their words.

I have read your report on S&OP technologies, and I have some questions.” The wonderful thing about the work I do at Supply Chain Insights is that I can now connect to people I do not know through my blog, and they are able to reach out to me directly to have a discussion. The call continued.

This week, I spoke at the Llamasoft Summercon Conference. The conference was low-key. The attendees were sitting on the edge of their seats to hear about the next release of Llamasoft software. We laughed, and felt a bit silly, leaving the conference room holding our new furry tchotchkes. The theatre was packed.

At the event, James Rice, MIT, spoke on innovation, and his reflections on Clayton Christensen’s 1997 classic business book, the Innovators Dilemma. I think that IBM, HP, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and Teradata are victims today in the information technology sector. My Journey with Supply Chain Planning. Reflections.

Today, nine out of ten supply chains are stuck. Despite two decades of advancement in supply chain technologies, companies are struggling to gain balance at the intersection of operating margin, inventory turns and case fulfillment. Like an artifact, I have kicked around in the supply chain space since the 1980s.

Let’s face it, the definition of demand-driven is evolving. Today’s processes are supply driven. The base definitions of the SCOR model are inside-out, and supply-centric. The Definition of the Supply Chain Long Tail. In the 1990’s demand latency in a regional supply chain was weeks.

When it comes to the management of inventory in value chains, frustration abounds. Executive, after executive, lament, “They have purchased many technologies and sponsored many projects to reduce inventories, but they are not seeing results.” The supply chain is a complex system with increasing complexity.

The monthly cycle of S&OP meetings has been the forum in which a firm’s forecasts have been presented and reconciled across functional areas.

It is difficult to come across many supply chain leaders today who do not subscribe to the principle of Demand-Driven Supply Chains. As supply chain experts we continue to write about, provide webinars, present at conferences, and assist numerous client companies to progress towards the Demand-Driven Supply Chain model.

by CJ Wehlage Two years ago, I made some very bold predictions on the 2014 Top 25 Supply Chains, and about 80% of them were true. Last year, I made the not-so bold predictions, as the Gartner 2015 Top 25 Supply Chain rankings were pretty much unchanged. That is, except for the new “Masters” category. Apple = Leverage.

In my work with supply chain clients, teams change, business strategies shift and dramas unfold. All are haunted by the river that runs through the supply chain. On an ongoing basis I view supply chain strategy documents. Each supply chain is unique. What is it? Growth is a common theme.

Every so many years, a new supply chain terminology takes the front page and dominates the conversation in magazines and conferences. Usually the result is that the supply-chain concept is generalised as a solution for everything, accompanied by a simplified interpretation of the complexity involved in implementation.
