The Peak Planning track explores how supply chain organisations can stay in control amid demand volatility, material scarcity, geopolitical uncertainty, cost pressure and rapid market change. Traditional, static planning approaches are increasingly unable to keep pace with today’s complexity.
This track focuses on the evolution of Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) towards more dynamic, scenario‑driven decision‑making. New generations of planning software enable organisations to simulate trade‑offs, anticipate risks, and align demand, supply, inventory and financial plans, rather than reacting once disruptions occur.
Delegates will discover how scenario building and digital supply chain twins help organisations evaluate “what‑if” situations, improve cross‑functional alignment and make better mid‑ to long‑term decisions in uncertain environments.
