- (1888PressRelease) October 20, 2011 - In today's climate of uncertain demand and strained supply chains, the power of S&OP and IBP to help companies respond to market realities with greater agility has become even more evident. Executives from leading high-tech, manufacturing and consumer products firms attended the conference to explore proven ways to meet customer demand while optimizing supply chain costs through enhanced S&OP and IBP.
"Companies around the world are discovering that a best-in-class S&OP-IBP process powered by technology is a sure way to manage fluctuating demand and the resulting impacts on the supply chain," explained Glen Margolis, CEO of Steelwedge. "I'm pleased to share how Steelwedge can help companies to consolidate global demand, align sales with supply and capacity constraints, and simulate every imaginable supply and demand 'what-if' scenario."
Conference attendees had the opportunity to explore how the Steelwedge solution provides companies with powerful capabilities to match demand to relevant supply and capacity constraints; review all demand, inventory and supply plans simultaneously in revenue and profit as well as volume; run "what-if" scenarios to simulate the impact of changes to demand or supply; and conduct margin analysis live to evaluate the impact of these scenarios; and report S&OP performance.
