A smooth and stringent supply chain is not only essential, but crucial for all companies. The events of recent years have shown how sensitive supply chains are and what happens, when they are disrupted. Sales & operations planning for a company's supply chain management is therefore indispensable. It's a necessary strategic business process that aligns sales forecasts with operational plans to ensure effective resource allocation and achieve business objectives.

Recent research shows that companies with well-orchestrated end-to-end sales & operations planning can note down an increase in revenue, production and speed-to-market compared with companies that lack a well-functioning process.
