Simple S&OP Example
20 25 23 23 28 20 20
21 21 21 21 22 22 22
Beginning Inventory = 17
Top Management directive for inventory at end of period
7 = 8
17 8
Operations Plan = Demand Plan plus delta in inventory
divided by the number of periods
20+25+23+23+28+20+20=159-9/7=150/7=21.4

Thoughts to go
away with
l S&OP = Risk management
l The Demand Plan is not necessarily equal to the
Operations Plan.
l Good service is not necessarily dependant on
accurate forecasts
l Business strategy (inventory strategy) is a
prerequisite in understanding how to run the
business cost effectively as a high performance
enterprise
l Top Management must own the S&OP
