Description
Sales & Operations Planning is the single process to engage all functions in creating aligned, forward looking plans and making decisions that will optimise resources so as to achieve a balanced set of goals. It provides a single environment for optimally synchronising demand, inventory, and supply plans and is the key enabler in supporting the business in meeting costs, revenue and profit objectives.
Who should attend?
As S&OP affects all aspects of the business operations this course is suitable for many to give a basic understanding of the theory and applications for each business function.
We suggest those involved from Procurement, Sales, Finance, Operations and the wider supply chain.

- Define sales and operations planning (S&OP)

Benefits and Learning Objectives
Through classroom discussion and practical, hands-on exercises the S&OP Course will enable participants to explore in detail how to use the five step S&OP process, use a hands-on approach that emphasizes simulated problem solving and team collaboration. In addition, assemble agendas and conduct S&OP meetings, apply S&OP grids to perform simulations and ultimately, arrive at a successful S&OP process output that can be used to drive marketing, sales, and operations until the next S&OP meeting.
By the conclusion of the workshop, participants will acquire a basket of practical tools to make their S&OP programs work more smoothly, enhance forecast accuracy, increase productivity, and reduce operational costs.
