Very helpful in understanding the S&OP process holistically

I liked the way the S&OP process has been explained in detail along with the challenges that one may face in setting up the S&OP within the organization. The maturity scale is of great help as well.

Providing structure to an unstructured process

The course was great to lay out simple steps to take that were actionable and applicable to the S&OP process. The course showed what to do and talked about how to overcome barriers. It is a good course to give people courage in moving from a reactive Supply Chain up the maturity learning curve.
