Sales & Operations Planning in action
Demand Planning
Sales and Operations Planning is a forward looking decision-making process, which aims primarily to balance demand and supply in the supply chain. Combine statistical approaches, manual review and collaborative processes to obtain consensus between forecasts.
Business values:
- Forecast future sales based on historical demand
- Reduced inventory costs. Optimize inventory and safety stock strategy
Supply Planning
Supply planning determines how to best answer the demand forecasts requirements. Mature companies are able to integrate financial planning with operational planning.
Due to constant industry innovation, Integrated Business Planning (IBP) can now pave the way for engagement with suppliers early in the process in order to negotiate a better supply contract in the long-term.
