NGC president Mark Burstein will speak with
Carter’s, Citizen Watch America and Cardinal Health during the IBF
webinar on June 18
New Generation Computing, Inc. (“NGC”), a leading provider of
cloud-based digital supply chain solutions, announced that Mark
Burstein, president of NGC, will speak during the Institute of
Business Forecasting and Planning (IBF)’s webinar “Virtual Town
Hall (Part 7): Forecasting During A Pandemic - Are You Ready for
What's Next?” on June 18 from 11 a.m. to 12:15 pm EDT. Burstein
will join a panel of senior forecasting and planning leaders
to discuss how companies are managing the demand disruptions
COVID-19 has created.
The panel discussion, which is part of a series led by IBF, is a
free, town-hall-style event that will reveal what leading companies
are doing to prepare for the post-lockdown business environment and
the methodologies they are using for effective demand planning.
During the event, Burstein will discuss how supply planning that
incorporates factory capacity and production lead time can quickly
and precisely reallocate production orders to alternate vendors as
infection rate spikes cause primary suppliers and factories to
limit production or shut down. Burstein will then explain how
demand sensing, using multiple sources including a retailers’ POS
(Point-of-Sale) data and John Hopkins COVID-19 infection rate data,
can identify the optimal channels and stores to deploy inventory
(regardless of current location) in order to maximize sell through
and profit.
Panelists include:
- Lori Anter, MBA, director, demand planning, Cardinal
Health: Anter oversees the Americas Demand Planning Department
and is responsible for global consolidation of forecasts and new
process development at Cardinal Health.
- Glenn Pascrell, SVP, merchandise planning and market
analytics, Citizen Watch America: Pascrell is responsible for
merchandise planning, inventory management, purchasing and product
pricing for the U.S. market at Citizen Watch America.
- Steve Tribou, VP of sales forecasting and planning,
Carter's: Tribou leads a team that works with sales partners on
retail accounting planning and forecasting for Carter’s.
- Mark Burstein, president, NGC Software: Burstein leads
all of NGC’s sales, marketing, R&D and strategic initiatives.
He joined NGC in 2002 and has served in numerous executive sales,
marketing and product development positions, including vice
president of PLM and global sourcing solutions.
