Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)

Volatile markets are a challenge for any business. They can lead to sudden changes in demand, prices, and supply. This can make it difficult to plan and execute effectively.

What is Problem?

With the Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process, supply chain managers aim to balance supply and demand throughout the chain. For this process to be effective, companies need an analysis tool that allows them to test and compare different supply, manufacturing, and distribution options. While doing this, they need to be able to drill down into the details so as not to lose sight of metrics such as capacity utilization rates, profit margins, and on-time delivery performance for each scenario.

With the right combination of process and tool, you can:

• Make quick scenario comparisons by playing with management policies and other parameters.
• Spread the ability to generate and analyze what-if scenarios throughout the organization.
• Support the decision-making process by comparing KPIs for each scenario side by side.
