WEBINAR: How Ferguson's Metrics-Driven Strategy Drove an 18% Improvement in Operational Efficiency

Labor management is a good start to understanding operational performance, but productivity metrics alone are inadequate to drive efficiencies and business results at scale. Learn how Ferguson has superpowered their labor management practices with Operations Financial Management (OpsFM). Their sophisticated approach to data helps them quickly discern the root causes of performance lags – such as labor performance, processes, or a change in workflow.

And by managing to both performance and cost metrics, they are able to bridge the understanding between operations and finance.

Join Supply Chain Now hosts, Scott Luton and Tandreia Bellamy, along with Blake Engel of Ferguson and Dan Keto of Easy Metrics, as they show you how to bridge that gap. Learn how Ferguson manages their business by the numbers and drives operational efficiencies at scale.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • How to factor difficulty of work content and adjust labor to account for it
  • How to identify the causes of waste and take action for efficiency gains
  • The data sources you need to merge and unify to get visibility at this level
  • How to approach metrics to understand process performance
  • What are the key KPIs, from GM to employee, and how to cascade them

Tackling Manufacturing’s Billion-Dollar Parts Problem with AI

Organizations face constant challenges in optimizing their MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) data. With vast amounts of capital invested across assets and sites, managing the risk of downtime becomes a crucial, yet often a neglected task. Optimization becomes impossible when trying to make sense of MRO/spare parts data, tangled in a web of fragmented teams, processes, and technology. And attempting to solve these problems with traditional approaches like data cleanses only results in sub-optimized inventory, temporarily clean data, and reactive maintenance strategies – which are not only costly but also a huge headache for procurement and operations teams. Join us as we explore how AI technologies remove data prerequisites, streamline MRO inventory data management, and unlock significant value for your end-to-end MRO inventory and material supply chain, with your data as is. In this session, we’ll discuss how to: Leverage data-driven insights by enhancing outdated processes and systems with purpose-built AI technologies Find million dollars savings hiding in your MRO, while also improving demand forecasting, streamlining tail spend, and enhancing criticality assessments Improve cross-department collaboration between maintenance, operations, and procurement teams to ensure a unified MRO management approach Boost operational efficiency to optimize criticality assessments, inventory management, minimize downtime, and…

How A Buy-Sell Solution Can Operationalize Supply Chain Resilience To Create Value

The ability to rapidly respond to disruptive events in a sustainable manner is a critical capability for most enterprises. The key is to minimize the impact on cost and quality. How can supply chain leaders operationalize supply chain resilience to create value in the supply chain? The answer: They must have total visibility into inventory, order management, pricing, forecasting and more. A buy-sell solution — a multiparty platform for customers, suppliers, LSPs and trading partners — is a fresh approach that supports convergence while minimizing risk, disruptions and shortages. This tactic improves the balance sheet without sacrificing service levels. In this webinar — How A Buy-Sell Solution Can Operationalize Supply Chain Resilience To Create Value — GEP experts Alex Zhwill outline what you need and how you can benefit from this innovative buy-sell business process. On the Agenda: · Capabilities such as forecast collaboration and inventory management ensure the optimization of supply chains while controlling costs · Real-time collaboration with embedded context yields greater accuracy and productivity — which can’t happen without improved internal and external stakeholder experiences · Optimizing inventory and minimizing CapEx investments enable enterprises to be more nimble in pursuing market opportunities and improving resiliency
