Part 3 Global Issues Managing a Global Demand Chain Major Global customers and sales organizations = separate demand streams, segments, subfamilies or even families in the forecasting/demand planning step If supply and demand are aligned regionally, or by product line -- separate S&OP families, and sometimes regional/product line partnership and executive meetings review responsibilities and performance 11
Managing a Global Supply Chain Global suppliers, plants and contract manufacturers = separate suppliers with longer leadtimes for capacity planning and supplier management & scheduling Dominant suppliers, plants and contract manufacturers = subfamilies or even families in the supply/production planning step If supply and demand are aligned regionally, or by product line -- separate S&OP families, and sometimes regional/product line partnership and executive meetings review responsibilities and performance Global S&OP Processes Could involve multiple divisions of the same company Sales by region, but supply/production by designated manufacturing source Matrix organizations responsibility without direct authority 12
