A key function of senior leadership is to make sure that all organizations within an enterprise are aligned on the meeting the customers needs and providing profitability to the enterprise. An excellent, widely proven tool to align sales and marketing planning directly to the operations side of the business is through Sales and Operational Planning (S&OP). In some companies it is referred to as Sales, Inventory, and Operational Planning (SI&OP).
S&OP is a widely proven, effective tool to gain better control of a companies operations, and to improve the ability to quickly respond to customer needs and market variations.
Effective S&OP accomplishes four key objectives:
- Create a link between the business plan and each department's operations.
- Align the actions of each function through frequent, consistent communications.
- Develop a realistic plan, that can deliver the company's objectives.
- Ensure that decision making throughout the enterprise is made in the context of the impact on the complete organization from sales to operations.
