Brief description:
Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is an integrated planning process that coordinates sales, production, procurement, and financial planning to optimize the balance between supply and demand. Although the benefits—such as greater forecast accuracy, lower inventory levels, and improved delivery capabilities—are well documented, many S&OP implementations fail or fall short of expectations. A key reason for this is often not the methodology itself, but rather a lack of change management: resistance within the organization, a lack of buy-in from management, and inadequate communication can severely hamper success.
Core question:
To what extent is professional change management the decisive success factor for sustainable and effective S&OP implementation?
