Sales & Operational Planning (S&OP) has been around for nearly 20 years and for many it is limited to a tactical planning process, for a few it is something much more powerful. Research commissioned by Atos Consulting has shown that companies with a class winning S&OP process have a clear performance advantage in all key supply chain metrics. At the very pinnacle of S&OP development are those companies that have successfully integrated operational and financial planning into a single process that evaluates operational plans, scenarios and decisions in financial terms.  

Today’s Best in Class S&OP process enables business leaders to see how operational plans impact profitability and the bottom line. Companies with this capability have successfully overcome the common constraints and barriers to S&OP development and are now reaping the rewards from their investment in their S&OP process, people and enabling technology.
