Big Issue
DEEP DIVES
Influencing the Decision
Makers
SIMON VINCENT
Supply Chain Specialist, Supply Change Coaching & Consulting
The brightest of ideas to improve supply
chains through SAP innovation often get left
on the cutting room floor when there is a
preconceived belief in the organisation that
the decision makers will say NO. An even
worse situation is when they say YES, but
don’t truly understand the business need and
therefore the ongoing support is inconsistent
and stifles momentum.
How do we identify these core influencers
and convince them that the initiative we are
seeking to implement has long-term value for
the business? And even more than that, we
need their unwavering support on a consistent
basis to keep momentum. This is the fuel
that drives change management - having the
decision makers truly on-board, always.

Four in-depth and interactive sessions covering the issues that matter
the most to you - stakeholder management, communication, supply chain
optismisation and integrated business planning.
How to Build a
Communications Strategy
That Spotlights and Supports
Your SAP Project
Supply’s Role in Integrated
Business Planning
(and What Everyone Else
Should Be Doing!)
DOUG WHITTLE
President, Whittle Consulting Group, LLC (USA)
STUART HARMAN
Partner, Oliver Wight
The success (or failure) of every SAP project is
dependent on communication - with the senior
leaders and sponsors, the project team, your
implementation partners and the end-users.
This interactive session will explore the role
of supply in the IBP process and how this links
with supply chain strategy.
Experience first-hand how communicating
even seemingly “simple” messages can become
so complex. Explore ways to incorporate a
language that is understandable and meaningful
to your target audience. Examine how to blend
this strategy into your overall SAP project plan
so that everyone is informed and engaged at
the appropriate level, ensuring they get the
right stuff at the right time.
IBP, sometimes referred to as advanced S&OP,
is an organisation-wide process led by senior
management that evaluates and revises
time-phased projections for demand, supply,
product management, strategic projects and the
resulting financial plans.
As the supply organisation is often the catalyst
for introducing IBP within an organisation, the
session will also give you proven tips and tricks
to get your organisation serious about IBP.
Use this session as your opportunity to begin
developing your own sets of guidelines,
standards, models, etc. based upon templates
and tools provided.

MRO Materials Management A Journey From Reaction
to Proactivity
TIM Mclain
Independent Mining Executive
Misconceptions and bad cultural behaviours
are costing businesses hundreds of millions of
dollars year-on-year and that equates to one
thing… opportunity.
Optimising the inbound supply chain is a
never-ending journey. Everything can be
improved and change is constant, so having a
clear understanding on where you are on your
journey and where you need to be is critical.
Starting with the low-hanging fruit can bring
immense benefits. Having tackled the lowhanging fruit, the next stage on your journey
is to move from an unplanned reactive world
of frustration and finger pointing between the
different functions and operations of a business,
to a place where collaboration and automation
are possible.

OPTIMISATION
These interactive and educational masterclasses are thoughtfully designed to help you get value out
of your investment in your SAP system. It will show you that you have - within your existing
SAP functionality - the tools and reports to target tangible business value in your logistics and
supply chain functionalities. It gets you back to basics, eliminates the dependency on Z programs
and Z reports, minimises the reliance on 3rd party solutions and moves you away from customisation as standard SAP functionality begins to work.
JOSEPH GROBLER
Global Supply Chain Integration Specialist, Reveal (USA)
Joseph displays a contagious passion for getting big value from the basic functionality within the standard SAP
toolset. “Educating the user community to a point where SAP is no longer complex but simply basic business
practice is the key to success” says Joseph, “the time has come to manage the power of integrated information”.
How to Improve &
Control Data to Ensure
Valuable Information
Standard Tools &
Reports That You Already
Own but Rarely Use
How to Make Your
Forecasting or S&OP
Even More Effective
A step-by-step approach to managing data that is
accurate, complete, timely and trustworthy for
on-target decision making and value realisation.
You will pick up techniques that give you data
integrity - accurate, timely, complete and
trustworthy. You’ll see the vital steps to synchronise
data flow within your organisation and across your
supply chain activity - procurement, inventory,
production, maintenance and customer service.
Learn how your people can take advantage of
standard, readily-available SAP reports to cut
costs and increase supply chain productivity. The
power of SAP’s ERP standard toolsets is not on
many companies' radars.
Capturing a forecast or plan is only one of the
early steps within a sales and operations plan.
Without the right capacity data, master data,
production strategy, supply chain execution and
forecast consumption strategy, the supply chain is
destined to carry unnecessary costs and adversely
impact customer service levels.
You will work through the best practices around
determining business rules and standards as well
as managing master and transactional data.
This masterclass will uncover the most typical
problems that corrupt MRP data.
16
You will find out how to use standard SAP reports
to obtain visibility of day-to-day operations
and how to locate and exploit the data in these
reports. Learn the principles for applying SAP’s
real-time alerts. This also includes case study
examples from seasoned SAP practitioners,
providing you with the know-how your team
needs to leverage standard SAP reports in seven
key areas.
11 - 12 August 2014 | Sofitel Wentworth, Sydney
This masterclass will highlight practical
opportunities within the supply execution of the
supply chain which ensures a more accurate and
effective forecast. See how these techniques
are making global supply chains perform with
increased intercompany reliability with less
dependency on safety stock. You will also walk
away with an understanding that a governance
structure is essential to ensure integrated supply
chain performance.

Breaking Down the Silos
& Getting Your Supply
Chain to Function As an
Integrated Supply Chain
Organisations recognise the existence and
challenge to get the supply chain functional
departments out of their silo delivery and into
a more integrated delivery. Tell-tale signs are
things like spreadsheets, 3rd party solutions
and departments that are driven by conflicting
KPIs which often break down confidence and
information integrity at a cost to the organisation.
Silo functions are also exacerbated in a supply
chain organisation where departments blame one
another for lack of performance and recognise
that collaborative team effort is lacking.
This masterclass highlights how SAP as an
integrated system becomes the catalyst that
breaks down the silos and is able to establish supply
chain integration with sustained value to business.

Reveal's post implementation methodology, called ongoing VALUE optimization (oVo™),
uses the integrated ERP processes to enable companies to become exception focused
rather than focusing on everything as an exception. This allows organisations to “rise
above the daily transactions”, freeing up time for employees to focus more on the
strategic aspects of the business. oVo™ takes a unique approach that facilitates the
transformation of organisations while they continue to do business. It focuses on raising
