Diversey and Logility to Present at the Integrated Business Planning Summit
Global Manufacturer Highlights Keys to Drive Financial, Demand and Supply Planning with One Set of Numbers
ATLANTA (March 09, 2011) – Logility Inc., a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, will present alongside Diversey, a leading global provider of commercial cleaning, sanitation and hygiene solutions, on how to translate demand plans into successful supply plans as well as the drivers for successful sales and operations planning and the importance of flexibility throughout the process. The presentation, at the IE Group’s Integrated Business Planning Summit in Zurich, Switzerland March 10
In times of high market volatility, flexibility is a key success factor for any enterprise. This flexibility, through the use of rolling plans for example, enables companies like Diversey to better adjust to changing conditions and accurately align the companies’ financial objectives with its operations. The ability to translate financial data into a volume supply plan is critical to the success of Diversey’s sales and operations planning (S&OP) process.
Helmut Runschke, EPC VC program director, Diversey and Mike Spragg, managing director EMEA, Logility, will review:
- The importance of aligning local, regional and global plans
- How S&OP is the vehicle for a successful business plan
- The role of Logility Voyager Solutions in enabling an effective S&OP process through accurate demand and supply planning
- How software has helped Diversey improve forecast accuracy, decrease error rates, gain visibility and more clearly evaluate alternative S&OP plans
