The effectiveness of any technology-driven business transformation begins with a thorough assessment and clear scoping. Avoid using buzzwords or three-letter acronyms. Simply stating "We want to transform our supply chain" or "We want to simplify our SAP ERP" lacks substance. The issues must be articulated clearly and comprehensively. Success criteria should be documented, the users' perspectives must be considered, and key design factors need to be thoroughly discussed.
Otherwise, your applications will merely serve as costly typewriters.

CPG Supply Chain is more like a textbook perfect supply chain. You deal with variability in demand, variability in lead times, Supplier diversity, large # customers, large distribution networks.
In Business as Usual, traditional methods of predicting market demand rely (or forced to rely) on historical demand in some or other form – trends, patterns, moving averages or short term consumption rates. If not wholly, in substantial measure. Some firms manage to go that extra length to build collaborative platforms for gathering everybody’s piece...
And the rest are at best inconsequential! Talking of planning and scheduling problems in a manufacturing context, the first important thing to get it right is to decide the ‘default’ objective of the plan (or schedule) and then work our way from there (given objectives change and for valid reasons) Is it to reduce backlog...
The (generalized) ‘Birthday coincidence’ problem and the ‘Gamblers ruin problem’ that are in a sense contra-positive to each other, are perhaps the most non-intuitive of basic probability problems. What sounds less likely (Birthday coincidence) is more likely and what sounds more likely (winning a jackpot) is less likely. For those who are not likely to...
Integration: Every Functional Consultant’s Phobia. I just know the ‘module’. ‘They didn’t teach it. Integration is for ‘technical’ guys! I am an SAP functional consultant.
