"S&OP is no easy task, and when it comes to supply chain management, alignment between all the functions of an organisation is critical to a business operating successfully," said S&OP expert and senior principal of Oliver Wight Pete Skurla. "Our mission is to educate companies so they can better understand the processes involved to achieve optimal results within their supply chain. We look forward to offering education courses and seminars through our Manugistics alliance that address the people, process and technology challenges of successfully implementing an S&OP solution in the Consumer Goods industry."
