S&OP

Sales and Operations Planning

Combat the complexity of your business by meeting future risks with a proper game plan.

The S&OP process aids supply chain managers in balancing supply and demand across the entire chain. For this process to be effective, organizations must be able to evaluate different supply, manufacturing, and distribution options with a clear and user-friendly method. Metrics for each option, such as order fulfillment rates, capacity utilization, and profit margins, should be easily calculable.

An integral part of the S&OP process is running numerous scenarios rapidly to analyze each situation, understand the correct action, and compare the results.
