S&OP has been around for decades, but is especially relevant today as a practical way to navigate today’s unpredictable global marketplace. As commerce becomes increasingly dependent on data, analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital technology, a S&OP process map not only helps companies identify and map out a cohesive, goals-oriented business strategy, but follow through on that strategy with in-depth forecasting and clear reporting cycles as well. Learn why business executives absolutely must take the time to research S&OP roles and responsibilities to gain, at the very least, a basic understanding of the mechanics of the process, and encourage internal buy-in and support. AI for sales and operations planning can be useful and succesful.
