Sales & Operations Planning

Sales and operations

Let S&OP drive your business

Companies need a clear approach to balance supply and demand. Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) (also known as IBP, or Integrated Business Planning), will increase alignment in your company : your planning teams will be better aligned with your sales teams. S&OP is a structured, process-oriented and multi-disciplinary approach that ensures a higher degree of alignment throughout your company: from marketing and sales to purchasing and production. S&OP focuses on a balanced use of company resources, which typically yields the following:

  • A more focused Supply Chain approach, with less waste
  • A demand-driven approach ensures a targeted sales approach
  • Increased financial profitability for your company.
