In order to deliver innovative new offerings, support its impressive global growth, and be flexible enough to ensure the right products are available based on changing consumer preferences, Caribou Coffee’s supply chain planning process needed an overhaul. In this educational session, Karen Francois of Caribou Coffee will share how the supply chain organization transformed its processes and turned to advanced supply chain solutions to drive greater accuracy, responsiveness, and collaboration to support its sales and operations planning (S&OP) process and drive significant improvements across its value chain. Caribou Coffee, for example, was able to completely transition from a monthly planning process to a weekly process helping the company accelerate its inventory turns by an impressive 35%.
