Webinar Description
Abysmal forecasting accuracy, profit-draining markdowns and junkings, and customer-losing
stockouts are the norm at too many companies. Yet Dell, Wal-Mart, and others have figured
out how to sustain healthy growth, while meeting demand with low inventory levels. Hear from
the former VP of Supply Chain for Dell, the secrets of how he took them from 40 to 8 days of
supply while growing the company from $5B to $20B. Learn the inside story from ChainLink's
in-depth research study of Next Generation Demand Management Practices--how industry leaders
consistently generate, predict and fulfill demand much better than their competitors:
Market Assumptions -- Driving growth in markets
Supplier self-sufficiency -- How the best suppliers are not waiting for their customers to improve forecast accuracy, but leveraging their own intelligence to read the signals and respond
N-tier network demand models -- Pragmatic approaches to visibility across the supply chain
Lifecycle Planning -- Best practice in product introductions, ramps, EOL and transitions
Demand Shaping -- Selling what you have by changing what your customers want
Risk Management -- Advanced methods to mitigate demand-supply risks (e.g. structured contracts and real options)
