S&OP offers strategic capabilities to ensure plans in all functions and geographies are aligned and support company strategies. Cross-functional integration optimizes transparency and facilitates better communication from upper management, with clear lines between leadership decisions and their impact on departments and results. The process should be formalized and spearheaded by senior management on a monthly basis, evaluating and making decisions based on accurate time-phased projections that ensure corporate objectives and strategies are attained.
Forward thinking companies are already implementing best-practice S&OP processes and technology to synchronize their supply, demand and execution to achieve the desired financial results. While an ambitious goal, the process can be approached incrementally as resources permit. S&OP integration is applicable to virtually all enterprises, regardless of their capabilities, size and industry. The right strategies can yield dramatic and brisk returns in terms of inventory reductions, improved fill rates to customers, reduced costs and enhanced revenues. Those companies that succeed in planning beyond near-term forecasts and short-term goals will find themselves well positioned to compete despite volatile market forces and future economic conditions.
