'Over the last month, I have been working with five companies that say that they want to implement an End-to-End (E2E) Supply Chain Strategy. However, when I hear their stories and get their PowerPoint slides outlining their design, I laugh. Why? The slides all look the same. And, they are anything BUT end-to-end. Why does it matter? Nine out of ten companies are stuck.

Frequently, I get asked the question, “What is the value of S&OP?” When I get the question, I smile. For clients that I have worked with on this topic, the value speaks volumes, but to companies trying to get started, the value proposition is elusive. So, today, let me answer the question by telling a story. In 2005, I engaged with Sonoco Products, a packaging products and services company, to initiate some work on Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP).

'Click here to read “Supply Chain Organization Models” At the beginning of each new year, I like to “reorganize”—whether it is cleaning up my email inbox or restructuring my schedule. Just like us, supply chains need (re)organization too. As they continually evolve, supply chains experience new processes, systems, cultures, and people. They need to be crafted, designed, and often reshaped to fit an organization’s structure, workflow, and goals.

They are trying to go further than simply balancing expected demand with production volumes, by also integrating financial budgets and business scenarios into the process.

'Dear Airport Operations Director, I missed a connecting flight the other day. The airline blamed the delay on fog. I wasn’t so sure. By the time the delay was announced, the fog had long since cleared. What remained was another kind of fog: the fog planners face when trying to reschedule personnel and equipment at short notice.

'Many people who work in supply chains are familiar with the old saying, “The forecast is always wrong.”. It’s almost always true, of course. But it doesn’t mean that it’s not important or it can’t be improved. It also doesn’t mean the cost for accuracy improvement is high or that the rewards are not consequential for the business. In fact, accurately forecasting customer demand—neither over-forecasting nor under-forecasting—matters in many ways for every manufacturer, wholesale distributor, and
