All companies plan, but not all companies plan well. One key area that sets organizations apart from the rest of the pack is a connected, comprehensive approach to sales and operations planning (S&OP).
S&OP is a monthly integrated business management process that empowers leadership to focus on key supply chain drivers, including sales, marketing, demand management, production, inventory management, and new product introduction.
With an eye on financial and business impact, the goal of S&OP is to enable executives to make betterinformed decisions through a dynamic connection of plans and strategies across the business. Often repeated on a monthly basis, S&OP enables effective supply chain management and focuses the resources of an organization on delivering what their customers need while staying profitable.
