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.

SUMMARY:Manufacturing Operations Management Meets the Moment
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintResiliency and Digital Transformation have taken on new urgency for manufacturing in 2020 as we all strive to meet the moment. We have all faced considerable challenges\, from shutdowns or disruptions in the supply chain to the safety and availability of our workforce. \nThroughout the moment\, manufacturers have had to make frequent pivots to meet very uneven production requirements while still adhering to delivery standards. In some cases\, we’ve seen companies make even more dramatic pivots to introduce entirely new products for internal PPE consumption or to mitigate critical national medical device shortages. \nAlong with the challenges\, the pressure to deliver on time\, on price and with quality still remain\, despite organizations being stretched thin\, being asked to be more flexible and more accommodating to the realities we are all facing. \nThe past few months have introduced a slew of new\, very unique challenges that manufacturers are only now beginning to fully appreciate. In some ways\, the economic uncertainty for manufacturers is reminiscent of 2008. Events demonstrate the need for more flexible and resilient manufacturing systems\, yet it seems imprudent to consider major strategic projects that affect the operational core of a manufacturer. \nJoin this IndustryWeek-hosted webinar with Dassault Systèmes as they share observations based on work they’ve done and are doing with many customers as they\, too\, look to overcome and succeed in today’s climate. They’ll also share stories of top manufacturers who faced these types of decision 10 to 12 years ago and where they are today. \nIn the session they’ll explore the following topics: \n\nCritical manufacturing insights based on our experiences working across many industries\, with many clients across the world.\nBest-in-class observations around your MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management)\, both in the moment and intended to help you align to your “next.”\nHow to implement a tightly defined MOM solution across a very well defined timeline that allows your organization to benefit from a proven\, best-in- class solution that leverages an approach we’ve developed from years of implementations with leading companies across the globe.\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.
