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

Tuesday, 17 November 2026

In Malaysia’s fast-evolving Manufacturing & Retail sectors, finance teams face a familiar hurdle: fragmented systems and offline spreadsheets that disconnect operational realities from financial strategy.

From shifting demand and rising input costs to fluctuating margins, today’s finance leaders are under pressure from every angle. Key decisions regarding production, capacity, inventory, and workforce shouldn’t rely on disconnected data sources.

Sustainable growth demands a connected FP&A foundation. By linking operational drivers directly with financial planning, teams gain clear visibility into how shift in costs or demand impact cash flow, capacity, and bottom-line margins—enabling faster, more confident decision-making.

Join fellow CFOs, Finance Directors, and FP&A leaders from across Malaysia for an interactive executive session. Discover how to build a unified planning foundation using Workday Adaptive Planning, explore Terumo’s real-world transformation journey, and learn how Adaptive Decision Intelligence (ADI) uses AI to elevate modern FP&A.

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.
