Every plan needs a driving force
Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) drives the overall
level of our manufacturing output to meet the levels of sales and
forecasts. All this, while taking responsibility for the general
business objectives of profitability, cash flow, productivity and
customer service.
In short, S&OP's work is closely linked with our overall
business plan and is at the heart of delivering results.
Our S&OP function focuses on:
- Harmonising demand and supply issues with complete
solutions.
- Identifying future supply constraints and resource
requirements.
- Measuring, improving and monitoring financial and non-financial
parameters.
- Ensuring accurate forecasting.
- Enabling different functions - such as sales, marketing,
operations and finance - to meet their goals.
