Are we playing blind?
Many companies use their monthly S&OP plans to run their supply chains through the month.
Do the demand and supply outlooks remain as planned?
Some products experience rocketing demand.
A few products struggle in the market.
Competitors launch new products and new promos.
Weather behaves in an erratic manner.
Sticking to monthly S&OP plans is like ignoring all the market dynamics. As if we are playing blind.
No wonder we end up with stockouts, surplus inventory and a lot of firefighting.
Stay awake.
Refresh the demand outlook.
Adjust the supply plan.
Fundamentals of supply chain are easy to comprehend and execute. Let’s keep it simple.
