Key issues
Company with a cashflow challenge following a major acquisition
Lack of S&OP generating inadequate inventory, impacting customer service
A commando-type, fast-track S&OP implementation to create a sense of urgency
Value Race used to engage the whole company, not just Supply Chain as before
The solution
ʺValue Race was used as a transformation accelerator. It was a driving force to spread the interest for a transversal and collective approach. The competition we played was very much like real life.ʺ
