COURSE OVERVIEW

This workshop explores how Integrated Planning & Control (IP&C) optimizes supply chain management across various inventory types and high-repetition items. The curriculum balances high-level Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) with detailed operational execution.

To help benchmark your organization against world-class standards, we will examine cross-functional accountabilities using three self-assessment tools, highlighting the Excel-based Tom Wallace checklist. Finally, you will learn key performance indicators (KPIs) and standardized formulas to measure success accurately.
