With good tools and processes, planners can simultaneously improve turns and service levels. In this APICS Extra Live, discover how effective planning considers sources of delay on both the supply and demand sides. Attendees also will learn why thorough safety stock calculation needs to be a part of the planning process and a fundamental competency.
