Phase One with :

plans into a single view and minimize risk of errors
from multiple sources.
•Provide executive-level visibility to the demand
forecasts to show the financial impact of changes
in forecasts to inform business priority decision-
making.

Taking approximately four years to develop, the PlayStation® game console was introduced in the United States in 1995. We make advanced hardware that enables the most talented developers to produce vanguard titles and set new standards in interactive entertainment. Our goal is to make a family of products that completely changes the definition of home entertainment.
  3. Why did we call SW2 in the first place? Understanding SOP is a horizontal process. Cuts across all the silos and business functions.

  6. Call out Units versus $$
  7. Automate the data integration process to sync plans into a single view and minimize risk of errors from multiple sources. Additional Info on the point above: This involved connecting fragmented demand planning components from disparate sources including Access databases and Excel spreadsheets with back-end ERP data from Oracle. As a result, the SCEA executive team can now see more tightly aligned demand forecasts on a monthly basis.
  8. As a result of phase two, today Sony can look at data at the store level, with point of sale information to show exactly what happened. That demand signal repository is coupled with telescopic planning to get a weekly review of data, which provides even better visibility to the sales team.

They each then reconcile and consolidate their own data … … and now … … well into the planning cycle … … they can begin planning. Management reviews the plans and makes a few changes.

With SW … … companies begin planning on the first day of the cycle. Rather than beginning the data collection and reconciliation process. We see three key benefits of a SW powered S&OP.

Upgrades are seamless and don’t require reimplementation. 2. Step Change in Maturity and Performance The value of increased S&OP maturity is clear. It translates directly to the P&L and Balance Sheet. SW enables companies to align across the organization … … evaluate opportunities, run scenarios and choose the best approach.
