Sales and Operations Planning

The Sales and Operations Planning process is about turning strategy into revenue and is critical to the success of any supply chain.  It is a process that binds together the various functions that support the effective planning and delivery of products and services to your customers.  Done well, Sales and Operations Planning will have a positive impact on every key performance indicator in the business.  Any part of the process done poorly will decouple the entire supply chain, negatively affecting the Voice of the Customer and financial performance.
