Review

Thanks to Executive S&OP, we now have more control of the business because we have the visibility required in order to be proactive versus reactive. --Phil Dolci, Vice President and General Manager, Sanford/Sharpie, Division of Newell-Rubbermaid

We now have our entire management team talking every month about what might happen 6 - 12 - 18 months out into the future nd validating or modifying our plan. Wow! Why didn't we always do it this way?! --Roger Lindgren, President & CEO, V&M Star, Division of Vallourec & Mannesmann Tubes

The various functions on my staff all have a seat at the table. They're all part of the process; they see the realities; the debates are open; and everyone walks out with an agreed-upon set of action items. --Jim Fitterling, Global Business Vice President, Dow Chemical Company
