At the same time, supplies are leaner than ever, as companies focus on not being left with excess inventory due to the same factors described above. Furthermore, raw materials costs have been rising, and are expected to continue to rise, forcing companies to operate with the most ‘lean’ inventories. As both demand variability and supply constraints increase, this creates more opportunities than ever before for companies to be ‘out of balance’, which can lead to eroded margins, excess inventory, lost sales due to stock-outs, and sales, marketing, finance and operations to not be in alignment. Long-term, companies are also looking for ways to be ready for economic recovery, and are looking for ways to gain competitive advantages during this time, driving the need for advanced scenario management, with balanced contingency plans for either weak, medium or strong recovery. Oracle Integrated Business Planning offers companies the ability to solve out-of-balance issues sooner, get back into balance faster and ultimately increase revenue and profitability through maintaining a real-time, continuously balanced plan.

Co existence of product safety with new product launches into the evolving global customer base across merging and mature markets is a Product Supply Network challenge and a corporate survival imperative over the next 12 months. The linchpin to success will be ensuring reliable manufacturing capability across the distributed Product Supply Network. However, the manufacturing eco system is changing; “manufacturing” is no longer a loosely coupled set of production sites and today even includes contract manufacturers and suppliers. Goals have changed and leading manufacturers have identified the halving of manufacturing costs over the next 5-10 years as a declared goal and are already on the journey to addressing the core capabilities required.Success requires executing in the short-term while laying the manufacturing strategy for longer-term survival as an integral component of the Demand-driven Value network. Those lacking the right leadership and organizational talent required to execute this strategy will fail. Our research indicates that leading manufacturers are focused on 12 capabilities required to achieve profitable and reliable product supply. In this conference we will share our latest best-practice research on the lessons to success, insights into the Top 25 Supply Chain leaders, and the pitfalls to avoid. The session will highlight priorities for navigating the journey in uncertain times and will address the following questions: · What are the top 5 characteristics of manufacturing leaders in this transformation? · What are the best practices for linking true demand and innovation into manufacturing and the Product Supply Network? · How are top manufacturers organizing for change and developing skills required to execute? · What lessons have been learned to date as companies continue to navigate the downturn? · What are manufacturers’ priorities in their manufacturing IT investments?
