For over 50 years Bob Stahl has been helping executives
and managers acquire superior decision-making processes. These skills
are essential in a complex, rapidly changing environment that puts a
premium on high customer service, wide product variety, quick response
and low cost. For these reasons, Sales & Operations Planning
(S&OP) is a practice that should be at the heart of the executive
management toolkit.
Unfortunately, Tom passed away on March 4th, 2021, ending a very formidable career.
His contributions will be missed, not only by me, but by our entire supply chain community.
The approach to S&OP detailed in this book is even more powerful today than it was two decades ago when Bob co-authored his original six books. Unlike many fads that depend on the latest technology, S&OP stresses what is at the heart of every business: people. Applying these concepts to any business is going to make it better, regardless of industry.
The author reflects on a lifetime dedicated to providing Executive Leaders the tools needed to align markets and operational teams to reduce complexities and achieve a higher level of business performance. Stressed is the importance of people over technology and provides tools on culture change, overcoming sharp disagreement to algining human energy to overcome conflict. The author’s insights in this latest book will ensure eS&OP will continue to shape how companies manage their operations and supply chains for decades to come.
For anyone who is serious about S&OP and wanting to take their business to the next level, this S&OP Executive Update is an absolute must read. PREVIEW THE BOOK and then ORDER YOUR COPY NOW!
