Improving Forecasting and S&OP — A Conversation with Alex Kahsar of ifm Supply Chain

November 14, 2023

At the 2023 edition of the North American Supply Chain Executive Summit series we sat down with Alex Kahsar of ifm Supply Chain to talk about one of the biggest issues supply chain leaders are struggling with right now: Something has happened to forecasting and S&OP accuracy in the post-pandemic business landscape. The tried, tested, and true best practices built up over years are not producing numbers that can be relied upon. How can any company do its best work building upon a fuzzy foundation? At the end of the day, Sales and Operational Planning and Sales and Operational Execution can only work with the numbers they are given, and too often either demand is not being met and money is being left on the table, or too much supply is being carried as inventory. Fortunately, technology and subject matter experts are keeping on top of the changing business realities, and there is a real opportunity for supply chain organizations to upgrade, retool, and rebuild their forecasting capabilities to create numbers that can be acted on with confidence. Give this episode a listen!

Let’s Talk About What’s Possible: Leading One Employee at a Time… Every Time

February 24, 2021

At Best Buy, we believe if we lead for the mass, we will lose the soul of our company. Each and every employee is as unique as the personal story they have to tell. Our stories shape who we are, and the courage to share those stories allows us to bring our full selves to work. While most companies are following the policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs) designed for uniformity and consistency, SOP means something different at Best Buy.
