Our course is based on our work with global corporations over the past 20 years.
Please watch the video or scroll down to learn how the course offers much more than the standard S&OP overview material.
About the course
Nexview Consulting offers a 1 or 2 day S&OP Learning Seminar that provides an interactive, impactful experience for your team. In addition to covering best practices and the elements of S&OP, the seminar is designed to align your team around defining present challenges, to illustrate how S&OP can help, and to create a vision for S&OP in your company. Private courses are available globally and public courses are offered periodically in the United States.
If your team is embarking on an S&OP improvement or implementation effort, a 1 or 2 Day Seminar may be just what you need to give it a strong launch.
Both the in-house and public course formats provide participants with examples, actionable outputs, tools, and templates that Nexview Consulting has been using with clients for several years. The courses are a mix of:
- Lecture/discussion
- Exercises
- Kaizen events
- Case studies
Agendas are tailored to client needs and preferences. Components of the public 1 Day S&OP Learning Seminar Include:
- The S&OP process, representative meeting designs, and templates for your application
- The 8 Levers for S&OP Success (Stream a 20 or 40 min video on this)

The 2 day course can add items such as:

Prior to the seminar, we’ll work together to define the set of participants best for your business, and if possible, we suggest scheduling a few pre-seminar interviews to guide discussions toward your specific processes and issues. Pricing is not dependent upon the number of participants, as we want the whole group that will make the sessions most effective for your business.
