A robust Sales and Operation Planning(S&OP) enables an organization to achieve a synchronized plan across various business functions, thus allowing the balancing of supply with demand, leading to benefits of an improved forecast accuracy, increased customer service levels, higher revenues and optimal asset utilization.
In order to help organizations achieve the maximum benefits from their S&OP processes, Wipro & SAP have collaborated on a Sales and Operations Planning solution(xSOP) developed on SAP’s composite application framework. This solution will provide a decision support tool that can be used to measure current performance and identify future gaps in revenue, capacity and margins.
According to McKinsey’s survey executives say that their company’s supply chain risk has risen in retailing, manufacturing, and energy. Organizations say that they mitigate risk by entering into performance contracts. Organizations manage demand risks by following the strategies
•Customer Rationalization – All customers are not equal.
•Price Management and risk sharing involving forecasting, category management, and sales and operations planning
•Buy side contract management to improve compliance.
•Network design for agility.
•S&OP for a realistic and profitable supply chain.
