S&OP Beyond the Basics: Q&A Part 2

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 01:37 PM PST

As part of our commitment to drive engaging dialogue in the industry around the best and 'next' practices, Steelwedge recently teamed up with Sales & Operations Planning expert Tom Wallace to host a webinar. 'Taking S&OP to the Next Level' is based on the new book, Sales and Operations Planning: Beyond the Basics. You can watch a recording of the webinar here if you missed the live event. Given that S&OP is a top priority for companies to tackle volatility, the Steelwedge webinar drew a huge attendance and just as many questions! Due to time constraints, our experts couldn't answer all of them. In this blog post, Tom Wallace answers some key questions from his perspective. Q. Is S&OP ideal for large organizations which have their own manufacturing, inventory & products? Is S&OP applicable to a service company? Yes to both. Some of the most successful users of S&OP are large organizations with manufacturing, inventory and product: BASF, the largest chemical company in the world; Procter & Gamble, the largest consumer packaged goods company; and Staples, a very large on-line retailer. S&OP has been shown to work well in organizations that don't make physical products as well: banks, central engineering staffs, IT departments and the like. Q. Should the same forecast drive both manufacturing and profit and loss? Absolutely. The forecast, once authorized, becomes the one and only one statement of future demand. Only with this can you achieve a "one-number process," which means running the business internally with one set of numbers. Q. How do you balance continuous improvement to the S&OP process against over-engineering the process? Listen to the people actually using the process, including senior management. The best way I know to drive continuous improvement is, at the end of each…

Honestly, I am a super fan of Facebook due to its features ,from messaging, security and of course it's chat! And just recently, Facebook Chat went way better than yesterday when developers embedded our Facebook friends' profile picture or thumbnail in our very own chat. Yes, we canactually put a thumbnail of our friends' profile picture during a chat session.

Here's how:




  1.   Initiate a Chat to a friend.
  2. During your chat session, when you want to showa thumbnail of a certain friend, just get your friend's profile id or name(example, my facebook URL is www.facebook.com/bugits, so take the word bugits – this is the Profile ID)
  3.  Now copy the profile id or name and paste itinside double brackets. Example is [[bugits]]
  4. You can now see your friend's profile picture'sthumnail in chat. This can also be applied to Facebook Pages.

All that happened in 2011!

Posted: 25 Dec 2011 03:27 AM PST

When December comes its not just the Christmas, Santa and a new year resolution that one thinks of or should be thinking of. One also ought to know or recollect if I may say so how good or how bad the year was which is on the verge of its end. It is a lesson for us each time to remember not only the happy moments but also the tragic or the sad ones in order to be able to avoid repeating them over and over again.

A Recap of 2011

A Recap of 2011

So lets quickly take a look or go to the flashback of the year 2011 : Year in 60 seconds: 2011.

As mentioned earlier the world has had its share of both good and bad events this year. This made an expert or an analyst like Thomson Reuters' give his review over this eventful year. So lets take a look.

The year made many sad and unhappy by causing them a loss of their loved ones in many unspeakable ways raging from natural calamities to attacks by anti social elements existing in the society. There was a massive loss of population and property due to the earthquake that stuck New Zealand. This not only took lives but also crippled many for a life time. Now let me mention something to cheer you up. Durable goods in America are likely to contribute to its recovery from recession. Now that's a wow! To add to our joy Toyota company is expecting to create records by the time new year begins. But again to our dismay 2011 is the same unfortunate year that witnessed a life taking spread of fire in San Francisco. The war in Iran is also worth a mention here. Romney quoted the Iraq pullout a signature failure of Obama. What a disappointing year for the president.

There's more friends it is the same year in which Japan witnessed regional uncertainty to curb which she took up the F35. An unexpected trouble huh….. Columbia also did not stay back in tragedies as it saw a bullfight that injured six people. The most recent tragedy being the death of Steve Jobs the CEO of the famous Apple company. Okay now enough of sad news. The goods things that happened this year include the royal wedding of William and Kate which was much talked about. With this I conclude by wishing for a better year ahead. Happy New Year in advance folks.

I have a surprise for you this Christmas. Be ready to take a first look at a Christmas tree no one has ever seen or heard of before.

Further like any other Facebook user you could tag and get tagged over here too.

What is special about this is that it has been described as a creation that allows technology to meet tradition.

It has become so popular that it went on to create a festival in there.
