Rough models deliver rough results in your financial projections, commitment to end customers and making the right response when a disruption occurs.

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) as a process has been around since the 1980’s. While the terminology evolved, the underlying thesis of S&OP has stayed the same, i.e., bridge the divide between sales forecasts and operational plans while respecting the budget. In general, S&OP consists of a New product review, Demand Review, Supply Review, Management Review and some level of reconciliation between these steps.
