Integrated Business Planning for sales and operations
The process is divided into Demand Review, Supply Review, Pre-S&OP Meeting, and Executive S&OP Meeting.
During Demand Review, representatives from sales, finance, marketing, and demand planning prepare their input data for the new S&OP planning cycle and agree on a consensus demand plan with respect to corporate financial targets.
During Supply Review, a supply planner creates a constrained demand plan based on the consensus demand and supply constraints. He prepares a list of related issues and recommendations for the Pre-S&OP Meeting.
During Pre-S&OP Meeting, representatives from sales, finance, marketing, production and demand planning discuss deviations between constrained demand and consensus demand, agree on one executive proposal and prepare a list of issues for escalation.
During Executive S&OP Meeting, executive management of the involved business units decides on the presented proposal and escalated issues, resulting in an approved consensus demand plan.

Integrated Business Planning for demand - demand sensing
Refine short-term forecasts to drive better fulfillment and inventory reduction. Get a better sense of demand by identifying demand patterns based on daily, granular demand signals. By sensing demand, you can deploy stock to distribution centers that need stock earlier in the week as opposed to later in the week, resulting in better fulfillment and inventory reduction. The demand sensing forecast can be fed back into the collaborative demand planning process to allow demand planners to make adjustments to demand plans.
Key Process Steps Covered
- Run Demand Sensing
- Manage Demand Sensing Issues
Benefits
- React faster to short-term demand changes
- Drive more accurate deployment of products based on short-term demand
Integrated Business Planning for response and supply - supply planning
The profit and cost optimizer algorithm of the supply planning operator generates a cost-optimized production, distribution, and procurement plan for the entire supply chain network, taking into account certain constraints. The plan includes all material flows to customers from plants and suppliers via distribution centers or other intermediate locations, and includes all production processes.
The scope item describes how to leverage the profit and cost optimizer algorithm during the Supply Review of the sales and operation planning process to create a feasible, cost-optimized constrained demand plan. It is used in replacement of the unconstrained demand and supply heuristic algorithm described in scope item Integrated Business Planning for sales and operations.
Key Process Steps Covered
- Supply Review
- Effectively balance demand and supply and achieve a cost-optimal plan for production, distribution, and procurement
Benefits
- Effectively balance demand and supply and achieve a cost-optimal plan for production, distribution, and procurement
