This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Supply Chain Management - Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) Improvement PowerPoint presentation, outlines the governance meetings integral to the Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process, emphasizing the necessity for regular stakeholder engagement across various organizational functions. It details 4 distinct types of meetings: Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Demand/Supply Alignment, and Executive S&OP meetings, each with specific objectives, inputs, outputs, metrics, and decision-makers.
The Demand Planning meeting focuses on reviewing and approving demand plans for both short and long-term horizons. Inputs include statistical baselines and demand forecasts, while outputs encompass market share and service levels. Metrics such as forecast error and order fill rates are critical for assessing performance. Key decision-makers typically involve sales, marketing, and product management.
In contrast, the Supply Planning meeting centers on supply plans, addressing capacity, inventory targets, and production commitments. Outputs here include cash flow and manufacturing costs, with metrics like production plan attainment being vital. Operations and procurement leaders are primarily responsible for these discussions.
The Demand/Supply Alignment meeting aims to synchronize supply and demand plans, ensuring that financial impacts are considered. This meeting evaluates trade-offs and financial scenarios, requiring input from finance and operations teams.
Lastly, the Executive S&OP meeting is crucial for approving overarching financial and operational targets. It integrates insights from all previous meetings, focusing on aligned plans and financial scenarios. Executives and business unit heads are the primary decision-makers in this context.
Overall, this structured approach to S&OP meetings facilitates informed decision-making, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned and responsive to the dynamic needs of the business.
