Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is a critical component of agile supply chains, but it’s difficult to implement, regardless of company size or industry. S&OP helps companies align their sales forecasts with production capabilities, optimize resource allocation, improve customer service by ensuring product availability, and foster cross-functional collaboration.

Learn how to effectively utilize forecasting and demand planning within the context of a robust S&OP process and extend the scope of S&OP beyond the organization to encompass the entire supply chain. Along the way, gather insights for leveraging cutting-edge planning software to enable S&OP processes and improve communication.

    S&OP/SIOP are powerful tools often underused. I’ve seen great results and strongly recommend them for companies of all sizes.
