Senior management commitment to the planning process is vital to the success of any business, so it is essential that the need to use MRP II processes is recognised at this level to manage the relationships between sales and marketing groups on the demand side, and the manufacturing and other operational departments on the supply side. Strong sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes can lead to more effective planning and greater achievement of operational plans.
Topics covered in this course will include:
- What is sales and operations planning?
- Who is involved in the process?
- Where does sales and operations planning fit into MRP II?
- How sales and operations planning fits into the business
- What stages need to be covered by the process?
- What are the information needs for the process?
- What are the likely outputs from the process?
- Implementing the process
This two-day course is aimed at logistics managers, master schedulers, demand managers, business analysts, planners, operations managers and senior managers in sales, marketing,
finance and manufacturing.
