This slides gives you the concept of SIOP(Sales Inventory & Operations Planning) and also the difference between traditional approach and SIOP approach.
Instructor Notes:
Begin by stating that the main goal of the S&OP process is balancing marketplace demand and resource supply. If demand exceeds supply, the company will be unable to meet marketplace requirements for goods and services. If demand is less than supply, then the business will suffer excess costs in the form of excess inventories and suboptimized assets.
As illustrated in Visual 9, the demand side of the balance consists of two elements: demand forecasts and actual customer orders. The supply side of the balance consists of inventory, supply orders, and the firm’s resources and capacities.
The planning challenge is to keep the demand side and the supply side synchronized at all times. Meeting this challenge is not easy. As variability in demand and the capability of productive resources occurs, managers must be constantly reviewing their plans to ensure they support the demand and supply realities surrounding them.
S&OP is the first step in the planning process that must be used to quickly identify variations occurring on the aggregate level before detailed departmental plans can be revised and coordinated.
