S&OP Scalability
How scalable is your S&OP solution? For global fortune 500 manufacturing companies, as business complexity increases with trends towards outsourcing, shorter product life cycles, product prolifereation and demand and supply uncertainty, the need for a highly scalable S&OP process becomes more critical. Creating a linkage between a companies business strategy and operational decisions requires not only planning at the aggreaget level but also at a more detailed level. Detailed level planning involvesplanning at an SKU/Account/location level, a shift from monthly buckets to weekly and daily buckets, and the analysis of POS data in addition to orders. THe data volume required to support an S&OP solution for a global fortune 500 manufacturer can easily exceed 500 GB. Traditional solutions and architectures do not provide an adequate level of performance to accomodate large data volumes. ETL load times, search and overrides exceed the acceptable perfomance that companies expect.
The joint solution between Steelwedge and Teradata is the only solution designed to provide a comprehensive S&OP solution designed for global fortune 500 manufacturing companies.
