What Happens After You Book a Consultation?
✅ A 30-minute Zoom conversation to understand your current Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) setup and planning challenges
✅ We’ll discuss your business context, typical planning breakdowns, and cross-functional misalignments impacting execution
✅ I’ll walk you through how my approach delivers alignment across sales, supply chain, and finance — and what kind of outcomes to expect
✅ This is a focused strategy discussion — designed to explore improvement areas, not a sales pitch or canned report.
✅ You’ll gain clarity on whether structured S&OP can help improve visibility, predictability, and business responsiveness
Misaligned Plans Lead to Missed Targets
Many manufacturers face the same hidden issue — departments planning in isolation.
-
Sales teams push optimistic targets
-
Operations plan based on historic run rates
-
Procurement works off disconnected purchase cycles
-
Finance chases a moving forecast that never aligns with execution
The result?
Inventory pileups, stockouts, excess capacity, and customer dissatisfaction.
The root cause isn’t a lack of effort — it’s a lack of structured alignment.
📌 Ready to fix this?
With over three decades of experience across industries, I help organizations build practical, cross-functional S&OP processes that drive coordination, predictability, and accountability — even across multi-site operations.
