Align sales and operations seamlessly for sustainable growth.
S&OP is an integrated planning process that aligns demand, supply, and financial planning. It's managed as part of a company's master planning. The primary goal of S&OP is to approve a feasible and profitable material and financial plan. Here's a concise breakdown:
Demand: This represents the forecasted sales or customer orders for a product.
Supply: Refers to the production plan for the product.
Financial Planning: Considers the financial implications of the entire process.
The aim is to strike a balance—having the right inventory at the right time and place. S&OP ensures that customer orders are fulfilled promptly while achieving overall business objectives, including optimal profit, productivity, and profitability. It involves close coordination among different departments (sales, production, logistics, finance) to create a unified and binding sales and production plan.
