I had the opportunity to sit down with Trevor Miles, director of product marketing at Kinaxis, to discuss the white paper “Four capabilities required for 21st century sales and operations planning“.

The paper discusses how increasing supply chain complexity and unprecedented demand volatility challenge a company’s operations performance, the S&OP process needs to be reassessed and updated to take advantage of more modern technology concepts and capabilities for creating feasible plans, monitoring performance to the plan and responding to deviations as they occur – accomplished through:

• scenario management,
• financial measurement and reconciliation,
• early alerting,
• management by exception

In this two part video interview, I discussed these topics with Trevor.
