Sales & Operations Planning
Sales and Operations Planning, or S&OP, is a key planning process that seeks to balance supply and demand, linking strategy with operations. LLamasoft’s S&OP Solution goes much further than simple “balancing”—using Supply Chain Guru as the planning and optimization engine, S&OP can become a key driver for optimizing resource utilization and maximizing Return on Assets.

Optimization on very large models can be performed quickly and easily, and LLamasoft’s S&OP Solution is easily integrated with the numerous, disparate data sources throughout the enterprise. With data streams linked directly to SAP, Oracle, custom databases, or even desktop spreadsheets, the S&OP Solution is always running with the latest data.

LLamasoft’s unique Model-Based Planning approach far surpasses other, more naïve approaches to S&OP. While other apps can keep data current through similar data connections, LLamasoft’s S&OP Solution addresses the much more difficult challenge of maintaining a current planning model by enabling users to take models off line and analyze “what-if” scenarios. In this way S&OP moves from being a reactive method of allocating capacity to a truly proactive capability to unlock the power of true forward looking strategic planning.

A giant in the beverage industry has a trend for introducing and phasing out new products and flavors at a rapid pace. Add the number of distribution locations and requirement for 100% service, and operations planning becomes extremely complex. LLamasoft technology is being used to do weekly planning of production, inventory, and distribution based on a 17 week rolling forecast. A North American retail chain has extremely volatile demand patterns based on promotions and seasonal events. Because of warehouse and store capacity limitations, inventory needs to be positioned just in time to meet the expected demand spikes.
