WEBINAR: Profitable Manufacturing Unveiled: Crafting a Winning S&OP Strategy
The manufacturing sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by fluctuating market demands, technological advancements, and the need for more resilient supply chains. In this context, traditional demand planning methods are proving to be insufficient for achieving operational efficiency and profitability. A sophisticated collaborative Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) strategy has emerged as a critical component for manufacturers aiming to synchronize their production processes with market demand, while also ensuring financial sustainability.
This webinar delves into the essential elements of a successful S&OP strategy, focusing on three key areas:
- The Limitations of Traditional Demand Planning: This section addresses the critical shortcomings of conventional demand planning methods in today’s volatile market environment. It highlights the necessity for a more integrated, collaborative and flexible approach to planning that can adapt to rapid changes in demand and supply conditions.
- Innovative S&OP Strategies for Aligning Production with Demand: We explore the latest S&OP strategies that facilitate a seamless match between production capabilities and market demand. This part of the webinar will provide practical insights into how manufacturers can leverage these strategies to minimize waste, optimize resource utilization, and enhance customer satisfaction.
- Elevating Manufacturing Profitability through Financial Insight: The role of finance in manufacturing profitability cannot be overstated. This segment examines how financial insights and analysis play a crucial role in shaping S&OP strategies that drive sustainable growth. Attendees will learn how the integration of financial planning with S&OP processes can uncover opportunities for cost savings, investment, and revenue growth.

The Cold Chain Dilemma: Why Visibility Falls Short and What Really Works
Transporting perishable goods, whether its medicine or produce, is no easy task and requires intense planning. Supply chain and logistics professionals have employed a number of solutions over the past years to ‘get more visibility’ to what is happening and avoid issues. Yet, even with devices frequently transmitting temperature & location in real time, cold chains around the world still suffer from product loss and products arriving with less shelf life than expected. Join Supply Chain Now host Scott Luton, along with Ilya Preston and Brian Shultz with PAXAFE and dive into the reasons why visibility falls short and discover: Why “getting more visibility” isn’t the only solution—many cold chain operations are sitting on valuable data with hidden insights ready to be uncovered. The challenges of handling vast new data streams, including the costs, staffing needs, and limits of human-based monitoring for scaling insights. How managed logistics data can speed decision-making, cut costs, and provide a competitive edge by transforming sensor data into actionable insights. The power of data-driven decisions across domains and how teams leveraging AI can confidently respond to leadership with consistent, fact-based insights.
