When Sales and Operations Plan Separately, Problems Grow

Sales may plan for higher demand. Manufacturing may have limited capacity. Procurement may face long supplier lead times. Inventory may already be high. When teams work with different forecasts and spreadsheets, it becomes difficult to know what to produce, what to purchase, and how much inventory to keep.

01

Too Much Inventory

Stock builds up because purchasing and production are not aligned with actual demand.

02

Material Shortages

Procurement reacts late when demand changes or supply is delayed.

03

Production Bottlenecks

Capacity limits are discovered after production plans are already committed.

04

Frequent Plan Changes

Production and procurement plans keep changing as new information comes in.

05

Missed Customer Commitments

Demand cannot always be matched with available stock and production capacity.

06

Too Much Spreadsheet Planning

Teams work with different forecasts, files and numbers.
S&OP brings these teams together around one plan.
