The Timken Company Bridges the Gap between Supply Chain, Finance, Manufacturing, Sales, and Marketing to Drive Supply Chain Excellence

Educational Session at CSCMP Global Conference 2014 Highlights Best Practices to Align Multiple Departments and Drive Demand Planning Accuracy Visibility
ATLANTA — September 22, 2014 — Logility Inc., a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, invites attendees of the CSCMP Annual Global Conference 2014 in San Antonio, TX to attend the session, “Forecast Alignment: Speaking A Common Language Across the Organization”. The educational presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, 2014 at 10:00 AM CT.

Today’s forecasts include input from across the enterprise including supply chain, marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance. Each of these groups speaks its own vernacular, using different terminology and units of measure. This can create confusion when aligning corporate goals, synchronizing operations, and developing and executing long–term strategic plans. In this session, Joe Eschenbrenner, CPF, global manager demand management at The Timken Company, and Karin Bursa, vice president, Logility, will discuss why a common language, the flexibility to model financial and volumetric measures, and a comprehensive demand plan are critical to The Timken Company’s success. In addition, Mr. Eschenbrenner will discuss how they utilize Logility Voyager Solutions to drive value from their global supply chain and SAP / APO deployment.
