Taste the flavours of S&OP

In today's dynamic business landscape, companies face a multitude of challenges, including changing customer demands, market volatility, and supply chain disruptions. Effective S&OP practices enable organizations to navigate these challenges and make informed decisions to enhance customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and drive business growth.

S&OP Flavour Day is a crucial event for professionals working in this field, as it provides an opportunity to gain insights from industry experts, discover innovative strategies, and learn about the latest technological advancements that can be applied across industries.

S&OP Flavour Day was launched to create a dedicated conference for professionals across industries to come together, collaborate, and share ideas in the world of S&OP. S&OP is essential for businesses in navigating the complexities of global supply chains, regardless of the industry they operate in.

S&OP Flavour Day 2024 is the fourth edition of the annual S&OP conference organized by Supply Chain Media. The event features keynote speakers, panel discussions, presentations of software vendors and interactive roundtable sessions.

S&OP Roulette

Join the Discussion on S&OP Priorities!

This year, S&OP Flavour Day introduces an exciting new feature: S&OP Roulette!

An interactive roundtable discussion that highlights where the focus lies during monthly S&OP meetings in businesses.

Participants at the event receive poker chips, representing investments in four key process steps: product review, supply review, demand review, and financial consolidation.
What will happen when we test this in real life? Where will the most 'money' be invested? And more importantly, where do the attendees think we should be focusing more than we currently do?

Discover which areas are worth the most investment and how we can shift our focus to what truly matters.
