Business Orchestration with S&OP

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) in its essence is not new. Companies have been utilizing its core concept of collaborative planning over two decades to balance demand & supply and to keep the business in-control. S&OP has become arguably the #1 improvement initiative in many companies. Beyond its quantitative benefits, improved coordination among senior management brought by S&OP has rapidly advanced its adoption across industries. In recent times, S&OP has been utilized to synchronize operational-financial metrics, project future earnings and continuously reposition the business. These issues have always been important but in current times, they are critical and a matter of survival for many companies!
