From Excel Hell to Modern Production and Sales Planning
Why participate?
How to Get Demand, Inventory, and Capacity Planning Under Control — Without Chaos, Stress, or Errors.
Planning often means a fragile collection of spreadsheets mixing orders, forecasts, inventory, capacities, and delivery lead times. As edits are made, Excel versions diverge, new files appear, and recalculations keep growing. Control is replaced by pressure, manual corrections, and late-night closing sessions.
If this sounds familiar, you are definitely not alone. Excel hell is no joke — but there is a way out.
Our webinar will show what modern planning in manufacturing and wholesale can look like through real-life examples from local practice. From inventory management, purchasing, and capacity planning to sales planning and Rolling Forecast.
If you are looking for a way to get planning under control and reduce endless spreadsheet adjustments, you are in the right place. Simply register and secure your spot in the webinar.
