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

AI That Moves at Velocity: Cut Through Latency with Agentic Workflows

Most supply chains aren’t short on data. They’re short on decision velocity. Planning still runs in weekly or monthly cycles, and that latency becomes the bottleneck when demand, supply, and financials shift hourly.   In this Supply Chain Now webinar, Zero100, a research and intelligence company focused on helping executives navigate the future of supply chain, and OMP, a leading provider of AI-powered supply chain planning software, explore two workflows where leading organizations are already making the move from periodic to continuous, adaptive planning: Signal-to-Plan and Inventory-to-Service. Zero100 calls these “Power Threads”: end-to-end workflows that connect signals, plans, and execution so decisions update as reality changes. OMP’s AI-powered platform provides the technology backbone to make it operational.   We’ll make it concrete through examples from consumer goods and pharma, showing what actually changes for the process, the people, and the results. And we’ll be straightforward about the hurdles. Scaling AI in planning takes more than technology. It takes new team structures, what leaders call “fusion teams”, plus org readiness, new skills, and clear governance. We’ll cover the top barriers and what the path forward looks like.   You’ll leave with: A clear, jargon-free picture of how Signal-to-Plan and Inventory-to-Service work…
