Program:

Integrated Business Management Through Sales & Operations Planning

Successful planning doesn't just happen!

Integrate insights from all functional disciplines to produce superior results through a single, fully integrated operating plan. Successful performance isn't the product of a single department. Sales, R&D, Manufacturing, Finance all need to be on the same "page" if your company is to achieve superior performance and profitability. Getting and maintaining functional alignment, how do you make it happen?

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is an Integrated Business Management process where the executive team continually achieves focus and alignment between all the functions of the organization. The S&OP process is a communications and decision-making process that sets the direction, priorities and boundaries for the rest of the organization. Through the S&OP process, the general manager and staff members regularly and routinely review customer demand and supply resources and "re-plan" across an 18 to 24 month rolling planning horizon and provide for deployment of their strategic plan reviewing new products and projects and integrating them with the demand, supply and financial management of the business.
