How to Maximize S&OP Results
Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) is a set of cross-functional processes balancing demand with supply and producing an integrated business plan over a defined time horizon. If done well, S&OP can improve forecasting accuracy, identify sales growth opportunities, optimize inventory, drive profitability and yield better service. In Sep 2017, Hain rapidly implemented an S&OP process without purchasing a major technology solution. We will discuss how it was accomplished, the results that have been achieved to date and next steps/future goals for this process.
You will learn:
- How to rapidly implement a model S&OP process with limited resources. Change management challenges will be included.
- The challenges we overcame and benefits we unlocked over the last year.
- Future path of S&OP to plan further out, drive cross-functional integration and improve profitability measures.
