Executive Reviews

The Executive Review dashboard supports the Sales and Operations Planning meeting. This meeting occurs every planning cycle in which senior stakeholders meet. The dashboard, which you access from the Sales and Operations work area, provides executive visibility to performance indicators, forecast issues, and operational issues.

The Executive Review dashboard provides visibility into key performance indicators, business trends, new product development metrics, and supply and demand mismatches across the process stages. The Executive Review dashboard contains seven predefined infotiles:
