On a raw pouring rain kinda night, John Gallucci, Director of Demand Planning at Nestle with his college Hugh McCarthy led a successful sold out IBF chapter meeting with demand planning and supply chain folks from well known companies such as L'oreal, Coty, Pfizer and Tastykake. Jay Nearnberg, Senior Director of Demand Planning at Wyeth presented "The Myth of Consensus in the S&OP Process". Folks from CPG, Pharmaceutical and other industries, had lots of questions for Jay as many companies grapple with setting up their own successful Sales and Operations/ S&OP process.
Terra Technology was the meeting sponsor and President Robert Byrne was on site to meet and greet the attendees. They will be the meeting sponsor for the remainder of the year. The chapter meetings will be quarterly with the next meeting date to be set shortly.
