When Management and the Shop Floor Aren’t Following the Same Plan

Achieving operations excellence demands careful planning and flawless execution. But, so many organizations struggle to connect the management steering wheel to the shop-floor tires on the ground. Big-picture strategies don’t always make sense at the ground level and vice versa.

During this webinar, we’ll discuss how to create and implement an Integrated Business Planning (IBP) Process, a roadmap for an organization’s future that can consider a range of outcomes instead of a single conclusion. We will provide frameworks for systematically developing ranges to drive decision-making and outcomes from an operational perspective in ways that align big-picture and detail planning.

Key learnings will include:

  • How to consider the range of outcomes rather than the specific destination
  • How to mathematically chain and prioritize decisions to achieve superior outcomes
  • Mechanisms for integrating ranges and sequential decisions into the IBP process
  • How to link your supply chain with your customers
