Autonomous FP&A: Smarter Planning for Manufacturing and Retail Finance

Thursday, 19 November 2026

Manufacturing & Retail moves at a relentless pace, yet many finance teams are still stuck with fragmented systems and offline spreadsheets that keep operational and financial data apart.

Finance teams are under pressure from every direction. Demand shifts faster than plans can keep up, margins are squeezed by input costs, and decisions on production, capacity, inventory and workforce all depend on data that often sits in separate systems and offline spreadsheets.

Strong FP&A starts with a connected foundation. When financial and operational drivers are planned together, Finance can see how a change in demand or cost flows through to margin, cash and capacity, and respond with confidence.

Join CFOs, Finance Directors and FP&A leaders from manufacturing and retail organisations in Singapore for an interactive session. Learn how to build that foundation with Workday Adaptive Planning, hear how Terumo elevated its own FP&A journey, and see how Adaptive Decision Intelligence (ADI) takes planning further with AI-powered analysis and decision-making.

Key Takeaways & Discussion Highlights:

  • 1. Build the FP&A foundation for manufacturing & retail

    • Connect operational and financial drivers: Link demand, production, capacity, inventory and workforce plans to your P&L, balance sheet and cash flow in one planning model.
    • Plan for volatility, protect margins: Model changes in demand, input costs and pricing quickly, and understand the impact on margin before it hits the numbers.
    • Move beyond disconnected spreadsheets: Replace offline workbooks with a single, governed source of truth that Finance and Operations can plan in together.

    2. Hear how Terumo elevated their FP&A journey

    • A real-world planning journey: Learn how Terumo evolved its planning approach, the challenges it faced along the way, and what changed for the Finance team.
    • From budgeting to business partnering: Hear how Finance moved beyond budgeting and reporting toward more connected, agile planning that supports faster business decisions.

    3. Take FP&A further with Adaptive Decision Intelligence (ADI)

    • Ask questions, get answers in minutes: Use natural language to explore issues such as margin or cost variances and see the drivers behind them.
    • Simulate scenarios with confidence: Compare scenarios side by side and run simulations to understand the range of likely outcomes.
    • Commit decisions straight into the plan: Push approved scenarios back into your live plan with a full audit trail of assumptions, data sources and approvals.
