1. S&OP Implementation Roadmap Implement S&OP, as a critical business process, championed by a cross-functional team of senior executives Anand Subramaniam
5. Executive S&OP - Close Loop Execute Demand Planning Supply Planning S&OP Meeting Market Demand Forecasting New Product Forecasting Promotion Planning Consensus Forecast Safety Stock Demand Inventory Optimisation Constraint-Based Production Scheduling Evaluate Supply Constraints Measure Financial and Customer Service Level Results S&OP Outputs: Service levels Profitability Inventory Levels Promotions DRP / MPS S&OP Review Demand Data
6. S&OP - Demand Planning Data Gathering & Setup (Analysis, Exception Reporting, Statistical Models, Data Aggregation) Routine Forecasting Cycle (Demand Change Reviews, Sales History and Future Forecast Adjustments, Unconstrained Forecast) Monitor & Improve Forecast Accuracy (Forecast Accuracy KPI, Forecast Value Added from Business Intelligence) Sales & Operations Planning Process Inventory Plan, Supply Plan MPS, Raw Material Plan Distribution Plan Financial Forecast Process Network Optimisation Safety Stocks Capacity Planning Input from Marketing, Sales, Customers & R&D
7. S&OP - Supply Planning Data Gathering & Setup (Source, Make, Deliver, Product, & Capacity Plans) Define Supply Capability (Available Inventory, Sources of Supply, Summarise Supply Changes, Adjust Constraints, Initiate Master Data Changes) Develop Supply Plan Proposals (Assess Impact & Develop Options, Submit Supply Plan Options) Stakeholder Meeting MPS, Raw Material Plan Distribution Plan Approve Supply Plan Input from Plants, Asset Management Network Optimisation Changes Unconstrained Demand Plan
10. Importance of Alignment Doing The Right Things Doing Things Right Exploit What We Did Align Measure Execute Holistic Approach to manage S&OP Initiatives
18. Why Phased Approach? Why? Minimise risks & maximise opportunities Leverage and extend existing investments (by deciding what you should add or replace) To deliver S&OP implementation at a defined cost in the shortest time possible Improve ROI in all aspects of implementation with proven tools and methods Limit business disruption through well defined scope based on industry best practices Address key business and processes issues Improve knowledge via training & support future growth Improve stakeholder buy in via change / relationship build Implement the functionality required and defer other investments until required

42. Risk - Enterprise Wide Policies and standards in place and are strong, effective, and are followed completely Policies and standards in place but weak or not followed completely No policies or standards in place or ill-defined and ineffective Policies and Standards Very experienced with similar projects Moderate experience or experience with different type of projects (ERP, BI) No experience with projects of this type or projects in general Experience with Similar Projects Strongly committed to success of S&OP project Has support for S&OP project but demonstrates lack of commitment Little or no support for S&OP project Commitment to S&OP Project Verifiable scope, requirements, and measures clearly defined Scope defined at a high level and/ or requirements to be defined in detail S&OP Priorities / Scope not established or requirements are ill-defined and not measurable Priorities / Scope / Requirements Agreed to support S&OP project S&OP issues unresolved or in process of being defined or approved No support for S&OP project or major unresolved issues Executive Management Support Has extensive history with successful S&OP projects Has experience with S&OP systems or has had some successful projects Has a poor history or has little experience with S&OP systems Project History/ Experience Project directly supports one or more of the strategies and mission Project indirectly or partially supports strategies & goals S&OP Project does not support any Organisation’s Strategies, Mission & Goals Low Risk Medium Risk High Risk Risk Factor
43. Risks - Technology & Fit Time lines are not critical Has critical time line, but little to no impact on quality Time line likely to adversely affect quality and completeness Quality Control Uses proven technology that integrates well Limited use of new technologies Introduces new technologies to the environment Fit with Existing Environment Little or no integration or interfaces required Some integration or interfaces required and/or of some importance to project Extensive integration of systems, or exchange of information or interfaces are a major part of project System Integration/ Interfaces Requirements are few and easily defined; few users to provide input Project is fairly complex with some requirements more easily defined; several user groups will be aiding in the design S&OP Project is very complex with multiple requirements from many different users; requirements are complex and hard to define Complexity of Requirements Analysis of alternatives complete, all alternatives and options considered, and assumptions verifiable Analysis of alternatives completed, some assumptions questionable, and alternatives not fully considered Analysis of alternatives not completed, not all alternatives considered, and/or assumptions faulty Analysis of Alternatives Low Risk Medium Risk High Risk Risk Factor
