SmartOps, with You at the Helm (SmartOps Solution Suite Test Drive)Leon Dixon, Training Manager, SmartOpsCharles Donnellan, Solution Consultant, SmartOps

You are at the helm during this hands-on education session designed to jump-start your SmartOps Enterprise Inventory Optimization (EIO) discovery. Together we will demonstrate how EIO expands the capabilities of existing planners and ERP systems, providing a balance of service level and working capital previously unattainable with conventional techniques.

Challenge your thinking and intuition by assuming the role of a supply chain manager, running the SmartOps solution hands-on to resolve a series of inventory planning challenges. Test your knowledge and intuition of inventory dynamics in multistage supply chains. Each exercise expands the participants’ knowledge and builds better intuition, providing the information necessary for better business decision-making and enabling fact-based communication across the organization.

The goal of this session is to introduce SmartOps and provide participants a hands-on experience with EIO. Participants will range from planners to executives.

Escape Velocity: Free Your Company’s Future from the Pull of the Past Geoffrey Moore, best-selling author, Chairman Emeritus at TCG and a venture partner at MDV

In this high-energy lecture, Geoffrey Moore discusses how companies can build the escape velocity necessary to move beyond the successes and failures of the past. Moore argues that when companies focus too much on performance, they miss out on building the power to become the industry leaders that other companies envy. He shares a hierarchy model through which companies can examine and build power, and examines how product teams can best work to differentiate their company, neutralize the competition, and optimize products and offers.

Kohler Global Faucets: Complete Bill of Material Inventory Optimization in a Global Manufacturing Company Jason Arnhoelter, Senior Project Analyst, Materials – Global Faucets Supply Chain, Kohler

Prior to using SmartOps Enterprise Inventory Optimization (EIO), the Global Faucets business set safety stock only at a regional Finished Good level to accommodate their large product offering. This approach worked, but often times it caused Kohler to carry too much inventory. Due to fluctuations in the current housing market and economic environment, it has become essential for Kohler to improve working capital while maintaining or improving delivery to the end customer. This session will provide insight into how Kohler implemented EIO globally to optimize inventory targets at all stages of the bill of material leading to improved cash flow.

Simon Tunmore, Senior Sales Director, SmartOpsMike Huizinga, Solution Consultant, SmartOps

Sales & Operations Planning is an integrated business process through which the executive/leadership team continually drives focus, alignment and synchronization across all functions of an organization. Alignment of product planning with demand, supply, and the financial forecast is critical to ensuring operationally efficiency.

The question often asked is ’Where is the “I” for Inventory in this critical business process?’ For most organizations the dollars tied up in inventory are significant and the costs associated with holding inventory are large. Therefore, we would argue that inventory planning and management is critical to an efficient well run supply chain and should be tracked in a Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning process (SI&OP).

SmartOps has been working to develop new capabilities not only to manage the “I” better, but, given our application footprint, to be able to support an integrated SI&OP process.

During the sessions we will explore:

Atul Bhandari, Manager, Algorithms, SmartOps

Organizations are increasing their focus on supply chain as a key enabler of top level corporate strategy and performance. Companies set service level policies and measure supply chain performance using aggregated metrics such as “volume fill rate” and “order fill rate” across the entire supply chain. Setting inventory targets requires granular, volume-based service level targets at the item, location, and customer level. Traditionally, these specific service levels have been set based on simple rules-of-thumb or ABC classifications around the corporate objective.

Over the past decade, SmartOps Enterprise Inventory Optimization has demonstrated sustainable value by helping companies reduce working capital requirements while ensuring customer service level targets are met. As a next step, in order to unlock the path to profitable customer order fulfillment, SmartOps’ Service Level Optimization provides the ability to optimize customer service levels while ensuring that the aggregate corporate goals are met. Join us as we unveil SmartOps’ innovative scientific approach for enabling order-based service level metrics and view our analytics around customer order intelligence.
