Supply Chain Effectiveness

Blonkvist Partners resources have significant experience leading enterprise-wide programs to help clients solve their most pressing supply problems.

Sales & Operations Planning:

Sales & Operations Planning is at the heart of effective supply chain operations. Our resources have supported Fortune 100 companies with a variety of initiatives including: plant shortage meetings, product line demand planning and business unit-wide operations planning and Executive S&OP. We carefully lead our client stakeholders through demand planning and supply planning coordination in order to deliver a sustainable S&OP process, typically within 4-6 months.

We have found that the process and communications enablement drives most of the value in Sales & Operations Planning. However, a limited but growing number of our resources have forecasting and replenishment technology experience, utilizing leading technologies to deliver outstanding results.
