S&OP Process Supports Demand-Driven Consensus Forecast  

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct 27, 2011 (Global Logistics Media) -- Supply Chain Fusion, a specialized consulting firm focused on leading-edge supply chain processes and Oracle Value Chain solutions, today announced that NetLogic Microsystems has received the High Technology Industry Excellence Award at the 2011 Oracle Open World Conference held in San Francisco, CA. The award was presented to NetLogic for their innovative process re-engineering designed by Supply Chain Fusion leveraging Oracle Demantra Demand Management and R-T S&OP modules.

Supply Chain Fusion along with a senior team of focused NetLogic business users re-designed the forecasting processes resulting in the reduction of manual effort/errors, increased efficiency, better visibility, analytics and exception management. This cross-functional S&OP consensus process brought together the different forecasting components with the necessary correlation back to the revenue forecast/plan.

The implementation project featured a number of innovative aspects:

-- Integrated opportunity information from CRM On Demand to Demantra for increased visibility of pipeline opportunities during the forecast cycle.

-- Easy, remote access to Demantra by outside rep firms to integrate them into the forecast process, yielding greater insights during forecasting and further reducing cycle time and inaccuracies.

-- Demantra on the iPhone/iPad -- enabling executives on the go to review key information and metrics via mobile technology.

"While it sounds simple, the differentiating success factor here was the ownership and committment to changing the processes by NetLogic's project team, and the relentless focus on evolving the solution," said Anh Nguyen, Solution Architect and Project Lead for Supply Chain Fusion.

"We bring to customers a unique combination of industry process expertise and extensive Demantra skills, however this alone doesn't ensure the kind of success NetLogic experienced," said Duane Hardacre, Managing Partner of Supply Chain Fusion. "It comes down to the dedication of their business team and the great partnering by IT."
