Subject: Special Interest Group: Demand and Inventory Planning

New Video, Special Interest Group + More
Hi Friend,

I hope that your year has got off to a terrific start!

Have you ever had the experience where someone tells you one just thing and that thing puts everything else into context?  A bit like finding the piece of a jigsaw puzzle where suddenly the whole picture makes sense. Or some might say, where the penny drops.

Two of our new initiatives for 2019 are designed to do just that.

First, I am starting a new video series titled, Something to Think About. As the name suggests, each video will involve one idea that is meant as a 'thought starter' - something that you should think about. But maybe also something that helps put things into context. Each video will be short, 2 minutes or less. just enough to get the idea across. See below.

Second, we are launching our first Special Interest Group!
This should be a super helpful way for people to get in-depth on specific topics.
Membership is limited are there are qualifying criteria.

Keep on improving!

Special Interest Group (SIG)

Our first SIG for 2019 is dedicated to Demand and Inventory Planning. This SIG is led by the team at Smart Software.

The SIG meets online four time per year and discusses topics related to the overall theme.
Each session goes for a maximum of one hour.

The first session for the Demand and Inventory Planning SIG is titled: Engaging the C-Suite in Spare Parts Management. Or, put another way, moving the spare parts discussion from the mundane to the strategic.

This SIG is planned for February 26 at 3PM EST.


Important points to note:
  1. There is no selling at these sessions, the goal is to inform and educate.
  2. Limited to just 15 people.
  3. You must meet qualifying criteria.


Group Discount Structure
Training isn’t just for individuals.
Many companies recognize that the best results are achieved by training multiple members of their team. Sometimes they need to train people across a number of locations.

To help make this possible, at SparePartsKnowHow we use an exponential discount structure. This means that the more of your team you train the lower the cost per user.
