Why is it important that S&OP
be collaborative?
© D. Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership © D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
1986
Ling Coldrick Partnership
In the early days of S&OP
development, we emphasized
leadership, all areas of the
business being involved and
managing at the aggregate
level(product families)
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
Why did we not emphasize
Collaboration at that time?
• As a young boy I heard about the
collaborators during World War
Two and therefore the term did
not resonate with me until
recently.

Integrated Reconciliation

Ling Coldrick Partnership
Integrated Reconciliation will
not work well in your Company
unless you either have or
develop a collaborative culture
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
What needs reconciling?
• New directives from senior management
• New opportunities in the market place
• New product timing
• Deviations from the business plan
• Supply problems
• Any issue emerging from the monthly process
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
Who Makes up the Integrated
Reconciliation Team
Who Needs to Collaborate?
• You need a leader or process owner of the
Integrated Reconciliation process
• Leaders from finance, new product development,
sales and marketing and supply chain
• Members from each area of the company who are
needed to reach a consensus, make decisions and
make recommendations on a path forward

Air Traffic Control for Issues and
Opportunities
To be effective the business needs to know where these
issues are and guide them into land for decisions in the
appropriate timing and sequence to minimise risk and
maximise business value.
All businesses have a range of issues and opportunities
‘in the air’ at any point in time moving at different
speed, at different altitude, in different directions.

Major Assumptions (In Data)
1. Wigit II Launch schedule
 US IVD Clearance –
estimated Sep 06
 Japan Registration approved
to sell Canto II in August.
 China and Taiwan
registration estimated by
end of FY07
2. Based on current inventory and
open purchase orders the
assumption is that the current
Wigit supply will satisfy current
demand of 48 units (Aug 06 to Aug
07). No additional demand can be
satisfied.
Major Changes this Cycle (In Data)
1. Last Month’s statement (Current
Wigit I Demand from July to August
07 is 45 units. No additional Wigit I
can be built based on material
availability.)
2. Europe increased Wigit II demand
by 16 units for the period of August
and September.
Risks and Opportunities (not in Data)
1. High volume for Wigit lines still
causing serious constraints in test.
2. Chassis availability for Wigit II is still
an issue. Supplier concern about
meeting current requirements for
September.
Decisions Made During this Cycle
1. Strategy about Wigit II Demo units is
that new builds will take priority
unless otherwise defined by US Sales
and Marketing leadership.
Decisions Required -
Recommendations & Costs
1. For the remaining Wigit II Demo units
we need to decide if additional material
be purchased for remanufacturing.
Emerging Issues and Gaps (in
Data)
1. Wigit II mix is still not stable
and could create supply issues.
2. Production still unable to meet
plan. Production resources will
be stretched in September.

The Question Is:

What will it take?
• Leadership
• Attitude
• Education
• People understanding the value
• Support tools
• Experience and results

Collaboration
• When people see that something better can
result from sharing ideas and information
and that is what is right for the company not
who is right---Then and only then will the
people be in collaboration mode

What is Scenario Planning
• Scenario Planning involves testing business
strategies against a limited number of
alternative futures.
• It can be used to help develop the Strategic
plan
• It can be used to help execute your strategic
plan through the S&OP process
• We need a new set of tools in order to
accomplish Scenario Planning
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
Developing Scenario’s
• What is your Strategic Plan?
• What is your Business Plan?
• How do you measure whether you are achieving
them?
• What assumptions are supporting them?
• What are the elements of your plans and
anticipated results that could be affected by
change?
• How could we evaluate the results or these
changes and see the possible results
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
When is Scenario Planning Needed
• When there are major issues in your ability to
sell, produce or hit your financial targets
• When there are major opportunities that you
would like to explore
• When there is much uncertainty in the
market place
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
Using Scenarios in Strategic Planning
• Acquisition of a new business
• Entry into a brand new product line
• Entry into a brand new market
• Employing a dramatically new marketing
approach
• Moving production offshore
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
Scenario Planning within S&OP
Environment
• Changing timing of new product introduction
• Change in product life cycle
• Massive swing in demand - UP or Down
• Major supply problem
• Price change – UP or Down
• Major cost change – Up or Down
• Change in inventory strategy
• It probably isn’t needed every month
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
Scenario Planning
• Each scenario that you are exploring should
therefore be defined by a set of assumptions
in order to meet your business goals
• A different scenario would be to define a
different set of assumptions
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
What are you trying to determine
with each scenario?
• Will it solve the business plan problem or
take advantage of an opportunity?
• What will it do to profitability?
• What will it do to market share?
• Can I accomplish it with my resources?
• Is the risk worth it?
• What did we learn from looking at these
scenario?
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
Scenario Planning
• Scenario Planning does not make the
decision for you, it gives you better
information so that you can make a more
informed decision in charting your future
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
New tools are finally emerging that
will assist you with your
scenario planning
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
You can see the term starting to
appear more in presentations and
in software vendors literature about
their capabilities
Andy and I are collaborating with Portfolio
Decisions in order to help them use their
powerful Scenario Planning software
(which has been highly successful in the Oil
and Gas industry for 15 years)
to operate in a Sales & Operations planning
environment with your S&OP data

Ling Coldrick Partnership
Scenario Planning
• In the past the focus in scenario planning has
been on optimization of resources
• In the future the focus will also be on new
market scenarios in order to maximize
business results
• There needs to be a better definition of
scenario planning that is understood by all
We are working on that
© D.Ling and A.Coldrick 2010
Ling Coldrick Partnership
My Challenge to you
• Explore improving your Integrated reconciliation
process.
• Adopt Collaboration as a way of life.
• Look at Scenario planning as a tool to help improve
your decision making process.
• Obtain continuous improvement of your S&OP
process through continuous assessment.

Wigit II Launch schedule  US IVD Clearance – estimated Sep 06  Japan Registration approved to sell Canto II in August.  China and Taiwan registration estimated by end of FY07 2. Based on current inventory and open purchase orders the assumption is that the current Wigit supply will satisfy current demand of 48 units (Aug 06 to Aug 07). No additional demand can be satisfied. Major Changes this Cycle (In Data) 1. Last Month’s statement (Current Wigit I Demand from July to August 07 is 45 units. No additional Wigit I can be built based on material availability.) 2. Europe increased Wigit II demand by 16 units for the period of August and September. Risks and Opportunities (not in Data) 1. High volume for Wigit lines still causing serious constraints in test. 2. Chassis availability for Wigit II is still an issue. Supplier concern about meeting current requirements for September. Decisions Made During this Cycle 1. Strategy about Wigit II Demo units is that new builds will take priority unless otherwise defined by US Sales and Marketing leadership. Decisions Required - Recommendations & Costs 1. For the remaining Wigit II Demo units we need to decide if additional material be purchased for remanufacturing. Emerging Issues and Gaps (in Data) 1. Wigit II mix is still not stable and could create supply issues. 2. Production still unable to meet plan. Production resources will be stretched in September.
