Lessons Learned
Executive involvement and sponsorship is critical to the success
Align the forecast around the demand creation process (Marketing and Sales)
Establishment of a forecasting/demand planning process is a critical first step
New items tend to dominate the process
Forecast variability and new manufacturing capability
Create linkage to the financial plan
Rolling 12 months vs. fiscal year focus
The process is more than numbers
Document risks, assumptions and decisions along the way
Create a process that incorporates mid-cycle changes
S&OP happens everyday … it’s not just a couple of meetings a month
Focus on decisions, not just reporting the news
