Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) Process thrives on collaboration & honest communication between key organizational players. Our process design approach is driven by the understanding of key touch points in the organization and how effective demand and supply communication among these touch points can be improved.
Sales and Operations Planning is the best practice planning solution that starts with creating an unbiased demand forecast, reviews the feasibility of the demand plan in the face of supply constraints and arrives at a constrained operational plan. In this training workshop, we will explain the design and mechanics of this internal collaboration process to bring together all stakeholders. We will discuss the key components of the S&OP process – the mechanics, reports, consensus and hand-offs as well as the metrics.
