"I really enjoyed the conference in NJ. I was familiar with several of the best practices discussed, but it was refreshing to take a day to review those principles. It was also reassuring to hear that many companies are having the same struggles as Nutricia when it comes to forecasting and coordination with other groups within the company. I look forward to applying some of the principles we discussed to improve Nutricia's forecasting and S&OP process."
