Executive Sales & Operations Planning,

A Powerful Communications Tool

Presented by Amy Mansfield

 

Communication may be a noun; but communicating is a verb, engaging in the act of sharing ideas and listening to the ideas of others to facilitate discussion that brings about a consensus among a group of individuals.  Executive S&OP is one of the most powerful communication tools available to companies today.  This session examines how to utilize the Executive S&OP process to facilitate and improve communication at all levels of the organization.

 Ms. Mansfield is Production Planning Manager for V&M STAR, Division of Vallourec & Mannesmann Tubes.  She has more than 20 years of experience in the planning and inventory management fields, including successful implementation of advanced planning and scheduling systems and on-time delivery standards.  Mansfield leads the monthly S&OP process at V&M STAR.  Mansfield holds a bachelor's degree from Hiram College.
