Demand Planning Seminar in Chicago

Dr. Chockalingam

October Demand Planning and APO workshop

I am just getting ready for the Chicago trip – our annual event in Demand Planning.             

But this time we will be covering some new topics including some emerging trends in Demand Management.  We will also look at the pot that has been muddied by SAP with its announcement of new products in Sapphire – what is new and what is old in new clothes?

I am excited to interact with some seasoned demand planning professionals who will assemble in Chicago to talk about Demand Planning best practices and also continue into the third day to talk SAP specific challenges and issues facing us.

So far I am pleased with the response to our Chicago Demand Planning seminar. Given the agenda includes some trending topics in demand management, professional from following companies have registered for the workshop and we are looking forward to interactive learning sessions.  We have some repeat visitors from our client companies:

  • Abbott
  • Glenmark
  • Nordam
  • Siemens
  • Continental Tires
  • Marzetti

If you have not experienced this workshop before, then you should consider coming to Chicago – we are the best when it comes to learning Demand Management – not just theory not just the math, but stuff that you need to get your demand management working in high gear!
