Ratings and Reviews
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.
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.
