Just back from vacation and had a link to this article in Manufacturing Business Technology by Jim Fulcher talking about S&OP challenges.  I absolutely loved the opening sentence: ‘Former boxing champion Mike Tyson once claimed, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”’  Who knew that Mike Tyson was such a supply chain visionary?  The guys a genius!  (have you ever seen Mike Tyson and genius used in the same paragraph before?).  Brilliant line Jim – love it.

The rest of the article goes on to explain how Teradyne, a Kinaxis customer, uses our RapidResponse solution to help address their supply chain management business challenges and even includes a quote from yours truly.  I won’t repeat what is in the article, I just had to comment on the opening statement.
