Frequently Asked Questions

What is S&OP Process?

S&OP or Sales and Operations Planning combines all the different sectors’ plans (like marketing, manufacturing, finance, inventory, sales, etc.) step by step into one integrated plan or strategy. This tactic has worked wonders for companies and increased their productivity, efficiency, and profitability.

How can Sales and Operations planning be integrated?

Sale and Operations Planning gets integrated through a six or seven-step process, which varies from company to company. But a general outline of the process begins with data aggregation and validation. Then based on the data, forecasts are made, followed by demand planning. Then planners begin with supply planning measuring capacities, inventories, etc. After supply planning, the process moves further to balance supply and demand. At last, the S&OP is executed.
