The challenge

Sales, operations, and procurement each planned off their own numbers, so the monthly S&OP meeting argued about data instead of deciding on it.

What we built

We unified demand, supply, and inventory with import lead times into one planning model, with forecast accuracy measured by family and horizon.

  • One demand, supply, and inventory view for S&OP.
  • Forecast accuracy by product family and horizon.
  • Import lead time built into the supply plan.

Outcomes

  • The S&OP meeting decides instead of debating whose number is right.
  • Forecast accuracy is measured and improved.
  • Supply plans account for real import lead times.
