S&OP​

​

Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) has been the long term planning process of choice for manufacturing organisations since the 1980’s. When successfully implemented it provides the leadership team with a handle on the operations of the business and ensures that resources are available to meet the foreseeable demand.

​

The challenge to many companies nowadays is that their established S&OP processes are time-consuming and outdated or they have lost their significance in a world of accelerating change and increased customer service expectations.

​

For many companies their S&OP processes have simply become an extension to the master planning processes that operate in the shorter term to respond to demand changes as they happen. In short, the
company is responding to what hits them rather than preparing to manage the demand in the most effective way.

I will help you to understand the shortcomings of your S&OP process and to design and implement a new process which is fit for the future.
