Join our webinar, hosted by Adrian Wood and Robert Oliver from Dassault Systèmes, to discuss an integrated approach to S&OP and how advanced modeling and optimization capabilities allow you to achieve key results.


Optimizing S&OP for CPG & Retail: Visibility and Agility for Fast Changing Markets

Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail (CPG&R) is a fast moving and demanding industry. A robust Integrated Business Planning process to optimally meet consumer demand is critical to maintaining profit margins. When disruptions hit, companies that don’t react quickly to re-plan and optimize resources risk lost sales and consumer market share.

CPG&R companies require a level of precision in forecasting demand and planning capacity to meet the delicate balance of meeting customer needs at the lowest cost. To fully accomplish this requires an integrated and Optimized Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process with collaboration between critical stakeholders, including Supply Chain, Finance and the C-Suite.

Join our webinar, hosted by Adrian Wood and Robert Oliver from Dassault Systèmes, to discuss an integrated approach to S&OP and how advanced modeling and optimization capabilities allow you to achieve key results:

  • Better forecasting of demand within highly competitive and dynamically changing market segments
  • Optimized planning of supply and capacity to reduce excessive supply chain costs
  • Coordinate your production and delivery in the most efficient manner possible to meet customer demands
  • Developing consensus plans, with input from multiple stakeholders, to meet KPI’s most important to the company
  • Advanced optimization and automation to develop multiple plans and to rapidly re-plan based on real-time changes in supply or demand
