Sales, Supply & Operations Planning/Management
Strategic business direction is predicated on the flow of information and interactions between constituent departments.
Too often, businesses believe that S&OP, as a discipline, resides in Supply Chain, but this could not be further from the truth.
S&OP is a wholistic approach and method to understand the right information, at the right time to the right people to make informed decisions surrounding the entire company.
Added to this,Sales, Supply and Operations where operations is all aspects not just manufacturing. This is S&OP.
I have embodied this approach for more that 15 years as an extension of Information Systems and Technology in iterative business design:
- Business Process and Enterprise Architecture
- Project Management
- S&OP | IBP
- Information Systems & Technology
