Start Your Journey

In this eBook, we discuss:

• Main challenges that are necessitating a fresh approach to planning
• Key characteristics of world-class S&OP and S&OE
• Real-world examples of how some companies have embarked on their journey

S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) and S&OE (Sales and Operations Execution) processes help synchronise decision making across all this complexity to infuse agility and resilience. It gives planners and decision-makers a sense of calm and alignment, resulting in greater focus and productivity. And of course, greater customer satisfaction, lower inventory, better asset utilisation and so on (but you knew that already)!

Our advisors Shabbir Ahmed and Johan Van Ingen have led and navigated such journeys at numerous brands and manufacturers such as British Sugar, Kellogg’s, Coca-Cola, Tate & Lyle Sugars, AkzoNobel, Medtronics, Nokia, Dairy Crest and British American Tobacco.
