Show the importance of enabling technology Evolution of S&OP S&OP Best Practices Illustration of Key Concepts in Consensus Planning Technology Enabled S&OP Case Study: S&OP Revitalization Insights for a Successful S&OP Process 4 Integrated Business Planning Associates

6 Evolution of S&OP In the past, S&OP has been most often identified as a Supply Chain based process But it has been too singularly supply chain focused engage and provide value across functions and drive true business optimization? S&OP is a managerial tool used for manufacturing planning and control. Its fundamental objective is to reconcile sales forecasts with production plans in terms of volume. To do so, the S&OP has to coordinate planning efforts among the various departments involved in the process. S&OP is the function of setting the overall level of manufacturing output and other activities to best satisfy the current planned levels of sales primary purposes is to establish production rates that will achieve management s objective of maintaining, raising, or lowering inventories or backlogs, while usually attempting to keep the workforce relatively stable extending through a planning horizon sufficient to plan the labor, equipment, facilities, material, and finances required to accomplish the production plan normally prepared with information from marketing, manufacturing, engineering, finance, materials, etc." 6

7 Evolution of S&OP Traditional sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes and supporting technologies are no longer sufficient in today s high-pressured business environment. Sales and Operations Planning has evolved to become Integrated Business Planning. It is a truly cross-functional, multi-dimensional process that includes all elements of demand, supply and financial analysis in relation to the business goals and strategy. - Technology Strategies for Integrated Business Planning, June 2006 The broader strategic mandate for S&OP is key to superior returns. S&OP leaders are aggressively converting S&OP from an operations level demand-and-supply balancing process to the mechanism of choice for integrated business planning and strategy deployment - Next Generation S&OP: The Path to Bottom-Line Value, Stephen Hochman S&OP is the common and synchronized process for business review and decision making, to optimize business performance and drive business strategy. 7

10 Critical for Challenging Economy Linking together Promotion Plans Sales Trends New Products Marketing Efforts Financial Management Will lead to better reaction/decisions for: Production Planning Labor Management Procurement Financial Management Actions to Take to Weather a Recession* Build demand-driven capabilities A good long-term forecast is the foundation of strong buy-side strategies. Strengthen price management capabilities Strong price management must be closely aligned to trade promotion efforts. Make every dollar spent on trade promotions count Understand the effect of trade funds on margin not only the increases in volume Actively manage the product portfolio Historic demand will not be a good predictor of future demand; so focus on product rationalization efforts, streamline complexity and sense portfolio changes. Focus on maintaining a balance Don t react too suddenly to market issues and throw the supply chain out of balance *Source: CP Companies: Seven Actions to Take to Weather the Recessionary Storm, Lora Cecere, AMR Research 10

11 Best Practice Capabilities Executive S&OP Compare Base Plan vs. What-If Scenario(s) Financial/Profitability Evaluation Dynamic Dashboards / Presentation Reports Control Demand Building Blocks Time-Phased Adjustments to Key Assumptions Support Views of Product/Customer/Consumer Segmentation Include Trend, Marketing Share, other Macro Economic Data Ability to Monitor Performance vs. Business Strategy 11 Integrated Business Planning Associates

12 Consensus Demand Planning Top Down Planning Objectives/Goals Market Execution Updated Financial & Strategic Assumptions Integrated Business Planning: Consensus Demand Planning Financial Forecasting Trade Planning Demand Planning Innovation Supply Chain Execution To realize it s full potential, S&OP must evolve to facilitate alignment and coordination across a complex and multi-functional business landscape 12

13 Incorporating Multiple Sources of Input NPD Research Promo Analysis Base vs. Lift NPD Authorizations Media Campaigns Promotion Calendars Statistical Forecasts Trade Marketing Programs LRP Targets AOP/ OL Targets Macro- Economic Trends Issues Lack of strong tool to handle complexity, integrate all sources of information Not a clear strategy for how to manage each input, where it belongs, how it should evolve Result: confusion & frustration, only partial planning, inaccuracy 13

14 Incorporating Multiple Sources of Input Provide a clear structure that manages where bottom-up forecasts, versus top down plans, versus goals and targets reside in the overall forecast. Potentially unrealistic goals, or top down plans that are not fully developed, cause poor coordination / inaccurate forecasting when added to the execution horizon Goals Top Down Goals Top Down + Goals + Top Down + Bottom UP Bottom Up Bottom Up Time Execution Tactical Strategic 14

15 Incorporating Multiple Sources of Input Each input should flow into it s proper time horizon and level of detail, allowing NPD Media full planning of the Research entire IPB planning horizon Campaigns using all various/valuable sources of information. Promo Analysis NPD KAM Authorizations KAM Promotion Calendars A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place Statistical Models Goals Top Down Goals Top Down + Trade Marketing Programs AOP/LE Targets Goals + Goals/Expectations Top Down Marketing & Innovation + LRP Targets Customer Marketing and Sales Initiatives Time Bottom Up (only!) Bottom Up Promotional Planning / NPD Authorizations Bottom Up Statistical Demand Modeling Execution: 0 to X months Tactical: Y months Strategic: Z months 15

16 Planning Horizon Management By separately handling the various levels and sources of input, with the right level of detail over the right time horizon, we can drive synchronized, cross functional execution and operational excellence S&OP manages this flow Goals & Objectives Marketing Programs & Innovation Sales/Trade Programs & Initiatives Promotional Planning / New Product Authorizations Statistical Demand Forecasting / Base Business Adjust <<< Integrated Business Planning Horizon >>> 16

19 Case Study: S&OP Challenges Data structure mismatches Not adding significant cross functional value Tools are too limiting and inflexible (and slow) Inconsistent approaches Lacking critical functionality for account planning, demand planning Lack of focus on profitability / financials Disconnects with downstream planning (manufacturing, procurement, labor, etc) Poor linkage between S&OP and weekly/tactical processes Objective: Design a collaborative consensus planning process, generate a base forecast to cover the full traditional S&OP horizon, and provide additional functionality to support account planning activity by the sales function 19

24 Objective of S&OP Utilize business levers to influence future demand for the optimal (most profitable) plan Customer initiatives / trade investment Consumer activation (media, consumer promotions, etc) Pricing Commodity / cost structure response Innovation & commercialization Identify capacity constraints and manage sourcing to formulate the most profitable demand response 24 Integrated Business Planning Associates
