S&OP: How to Efficiently Adapt to the Market’s Need

Faced with an unstable economic environment in which change is the only certainty, companies need to organize and implement efficient, accurate planning processes. One issue that many companies wrestle with is that key functions in the company – Sales, Operations and Finance – often make their own plans which maximize their interests but do not necessarily align with the goals of the company.

It is almost impossible to reach a single goal while traveling in three different directions. So it is critical that the entire company is involved in the decision-making process. This ensures that decisions are based on what is best for the business, rather than focusing on individual functional targets.
The ultimate goal of implementing these time and energy consuming processes is to be able to balance the market’s needs and the company’s capacities while increasing margins over the middle-to-long term.

Successful companies have implemented a Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process that provides tremendous competitive advantage. They no longer suffer from the economic situation but anticipate it.
