Connected Supply Chain Planning for Manufacturers — A Conversation with Bob Honer of Anaplan
May 02, 2024
Executive Platforms

At the 2024 edition of the North American Manufacturing Excellence Summit series we sat down with Bob Honer, Anaplan’s Senior Director of Supply Chain Practice, to talk about connected supply chain planning and what it means for manufacturers. Today’s business landscape is one of frequent disruption and changing customer expectations. Demand planning has never been more complicated, and fulfilling the S&OE requirements of shifting demand with an evolving footprint across a logistical network undergoing sometimes dramatic transformation is a challenge that can only be addressed by having everyone in the value chain sharing the same information and making decisions with the whole picture in mind. What does that look like for manufacturers? What does it allow them to do that they cannot do any other way? How does it allow the strategic and tactical level to align and coordinate? What is involved in moving to a connected supply chain model? For all these questions and more, give this episode a listen!

Leverage connected planning to fast-track better supply chain decisions

When it comes to your supply chain, the most precious resource you have is time. With the onset of connected supply ecosystems, fast action is key for sustained success. Your planning needs to help you anticipate change and prepare for any possibility. By integrating supply chain planning with sales and operations plans (S&OP), demand planning, and workforce planning, you can set a more robust strategy and shorten the time from events to decisions. Anaplan for Supply Chain lets you shift from siloed, sequential, reactive plans to real-time proactive planning. Sense shifts, analyze opportunities, draw insights and build consensus with a single platform solution. When you elevate your supply chain planning, you have the power to get ahead of change and take control of your outcomes.
