Executive S&OP – Steelwedge Executive S&OP is a decision making solution that integrates financial planning with sales and operational issues to improve operational efficiencies. Executive S&OP drives the Sales & Operations Planning process and ensures alignment between corporate strategy and operational execution. Steelwedge Executive S&OP engages all stakeholders and ensures that decisions are made in a timely and fact-based manner. The Steelwedge Executive S&OP solution incorporates financial and operating metrics, performance feedback, and simulation capabilities to ensure that the best possible decisions are made.

Sales & Operations PlanningWith both demand-side and supply-side volatility, it becomes critical to balance supply availability with the consensus demand forecast to prioritize demand orders and appropriately set customer expectations. Historically, this supply/demand balancing process has been done reactively with sales, marketing, and operations team allocating constrained products to customer orders, expediting product shipments or reconfiguring products to create the required models.

Market leading companies have transformed this reactive, manual process in to a proactive sales and operations planning (S&OP) process.
The S&OP process guides internal and inter-company collaboration to balance committed supply with consensus demand forecasts. Through this process a Plan of Record is created to which all functional teams execute.

The Steelwedge Sales and Operations Planning solution provides the ability to configure and drive an S&OP process that allows corporate executives to agree on goals that are feasible and profitable, while improving communications, teamwork and accountability across the organization.
