Many articles and books have already been written on the technical steps which outline a successful S&OP program. These resources describe the nuances of product rationalization, demand forecasting, supply forecasting, S&OP "True Up" and executive review. - Brewster Smith, Project Manager, Tompkins International

Maximizing A Shrinking Margin In 2016?

March 4, 2016
SupplyChainBrain
Analyst Insight: In 2015, I predicted that the healthcare industry was finally sharpening its focus on profitability and efficiency. While I was writing this Walgreens moved on Rite-Aid and further consolidated the retail pharmacy market, but more importantly strengthened their negotiating leverage on price breaks.

The Expansion of Global Entertainment at a Glance - Star Wars

March 1, 2016
SupplyChainBrain
Analyst Insight: When Star Wars was released in the U.S. in 1977, China was a broken, impoverished, country reeling from the Cultural Revolution and seeking ways to rejoin the "Republic" of nations. To many Chinese alive at the time, the China of today must look much like the Star Wars universe looked 40 years ago to American moviegoers. Full of unimaginable technologies, bullet trains and jets whizzing people around and avant garde fashions replacing Mao suits. - Michael Zakkour, Vice President China/Asia Pacific Practice Leader, Tompkins International
