Have a complete understanding of policies within the organization, as well as identify dependencies and points where the workflow can stop, additionally validate with all stakeholders that the resources/services have been pre-approved, eliminating future queries or challenge made by any management personnel

I’m interested in how you approach breaking down your strategy regarding the software component for executing supply chain operations to ensure there are no gaps and every process is mapped out efficiently.

It depends on the software that is going to be used to carry out the operations, and also, if it is part of the upstream or downstream of the procurement process, in any case, some of the activities, can be automated/delegated to the supplier. and the best scenario runs simultaneously. Also having your IT area as a trusted partner is a huge help since they can help to make changes in the system (if is allowed by the manufacturer) to better serve your needs.

Demand Driven Strategy completely ensures seamless execution across all stages of Supply Chain. By definition, Demand Driven approach is based on actual signals and therefore highly adaptive to myriad of changes in the real world of execution. I have seen and deployed these methods myself to witness drastic reduction in fire fighting in the execution and control level world of supply chain.

From direct experience with clients, breaking down silos is a priority. Automation and technology applications help cross-functional BUs communicate and collaborate more seamlessly. The other key area of interest leading to larger investments of capital and resources is revamping outdated demand planning processes and migrating to the adoption of Advanced Integrated Business Planning (IBP) models with predictive analytics tools and capabilities, real-time reporting dashboards, and automation behind forecasting. Lastly, supply chain leaders and C-Suite Executives are learning to embrace E2E blueprinting and functional design engineering tactics for strategy planning and strategic decision-making.

What is the most effective way to measure forecast accuracy and at what level do you share forecast accuracy reporting with an executive audience?  Total company gives an overly positive view of results, but lower levels seem too detailed for the audience.  Any insights into how to share the forecast accuracy results and what is considered good (e.g., greater than 75%) would be appreciated.

You should start by educating your executive audience.  While they may be happy that total revenue $ forecasts are within a few percentage points, this is not what matters to operations.  As I like to say, we make things ...read more

I am increasingly having to present to our board and it’s not always the best experience. Do you have any advice on how best to approach a company board that is not technical at all?
