SUMMARY:Assumptions - The Key to Successful Demand Planning
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintNo manufacturer can operate effectively without accurate and responsive demand planning. Poor demand planning results in overstock\, lost revenue\, and ultimately lost customers. How can you craft the most accurate Demand Planning for your organization? \nThe fabric of your demand plan is your assumptions. They describe the very things that make it a plan—the sales and marketing activities that will be undertaken to generate demand. \nIn a best practice process of achieving consensus to a plan\, the best story usually wins. It is a truth that frustrates many demand planners who come armed only with analytics\, and without clear assumptions. Come join us in a discussion of how you can craft the right stories and weave the strongest fabric of your demand plan. \nIn this session you will learn: \n\nThe vital role assumptions play in reaching consensus on a demand plan\nMethods for documenting and presenting assumptions\nThe link between assumptions\, risks\, and opportunities\nPutting it all together to support scenario planning\n\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Digitizing Lean - How to Enhance Team Engagement and Performance Through the Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintUnder the best of circumstances\, shop-floor communications have been siloed endeavors\, often lost in the clutter of sticky notes\, white boards\, spreadsheets and a sea of never-ending emails\, texts and phone calls. Despite this all-too-common reality\, we can all agree that the ability and skills displayed on the floor to meet the expectations of every shift are commendable. We can also recognize there is room for improvement and that this is an area that would benefit from a digital approach tightly tailored to the realities (and differences) that live on the floor. \nIf we focus on some of the unique challenges we are experiencing today with the health crisis\, we all understand that passing paper and pens is not an option in today’s climate.  We’ve got to think differently. \nWhile remote working will likely be a long-term consideration\, a potential upside is that we have the opportunity to leverage more voices. By expanding the talent pool to extend across multiple facilities\, we can unlock new contributors\, new ideas and ultimately better outcomes with both onsite and remote resources pooling together with more organically woven communication and connectivity efforts. \nBut the question remains… how? \nFor many\, the solution is fully pulling lean practices into the Digital Transformation. \nJoin this IndustryWeek-hosted webinar with Dassault Systèmes as we discuss how digitizing lean practices can drive continuous improvements across all manufacturing and supply chain operations even through the realities of today’s manufacturing environment. By seamlessly leveraging rich content and facilitating problem-solving\, these tools enable teams to make rapid decisions and better manage operational efficiency regardless of where or how they work. \nIn this hour-long event\, you will learn: \n\nHow digital lean tools empower your manufacturing teams to find new ways to innovate and collaborate.\nHow the current\, paper based approaches introduce challenges as they are less structured\, error prone and often lead to productivity losses.\nHow a cloud-based\, custom-built digital platform like 3DLean can address the needs of today’s manufacturers.\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintBeing resilient to change and responsive to the unexpected has never been more essential for success in manufacturing than now. The companies who have been most successful responding to the pandemic are not surprisingly the ones who have invested in and thoughtfully applied technologies that give them up to the minute comprehensive information about their business\, their marketplace and their supply chain. \nUp until now\, most of those investments have been made in service to optimizing the performance and enhancing the capacity of manufacturing resources and teams. However\, newer technologies\, such as advanced ERP solutions now offer state-of-the-art financial insights and management capabilities. \nImagine being able to quickly control daily operating costs\, and effectively eliminate unnecessary expenditures. Being able to offer your customers seamless digital transactions and financial reports. To have more confidence investing in ways that allow your organization to thrive in such a rapidly changing and competitive environment?

As a result\, attendees will gain insight into functionality they may not be utilizing\, a better understanding of the benefits to their organization\, and the organizational conditions that favor a successful integration of these solutions. \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.
