The mere implementation of an S&OP software such as the ORSOFT Enterprise Workbench without simultaneously initiating an integrated change management process might lead to sub-optimal results or even fail in the worst case.
In order to sharpen companies’ focus on their own processes and to optimize the way towards an S&OP transformation, Gartner analyst Cristina Carvallo has summarized essential steps for the successful implementation of a S&OP software while providing many useful advices. Her infographic clearly describes the four phases “Initiation”, “Planning”, “Execution”, and “Closure”.
We believe the report is a must-read for all decision-makers or project managers who are engaged in any relevant S&OP projects. However, the infographic also provides helpful insights for post-project controlling. On the basis of derived KPIs, ongoing improvements – even after the project has been completed – may be made.
Of course, the infographic only provides a simplified view on how a software-supported S&OP process should be planned and executed. Thus, our experienced ORSOFT consulting team will accompany you from the very beginning with regard to any new S&OP projects to come.
