Listen "Episode 54: Use KPIs to Make Integrated Planning Easy "
Episode Synopsis
Guest: Deepak Kumar
As a company grows and needs to develop specialized functions such as “Sales”, “Operations” and “Finance”, keeping everyone coordinated and on the same page takes more and more concerted effort. Over time, this natural separation leads to separate systems, business processes and data sets, since different functions have varying technology-support needs. While an individual function’s technology investment can lead to day-jobs becoming easier in that function, there is a cost in terms of added complexity in the data and technology landscape, which makes it harder to get a holistic view of the business.
In this episode we talk to Deepak Kumar, QueBIT’s Supply Chain specialist, about how tracking shared Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across the finance and operational supply chain functions can help companies transcend internal barriers in a practical way to make integrated business planning a reality. As always, we try to keep the discussion jargon-free, so that even someone unfamiliar with the business jargon around supply chains and KPIs will – hopefully – enjoy getting a deeper understanding of the issues.
