Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning

SGS Maine Pointe’s integrated business planning approach helps the organization accelerate the ability to fulfill demand balanced against supply to optimize resources by implementing a disciplined, cross-functionally aligned planning process.​​

Our sales, inventory & operations planning optimization approach leverages SGS Maine Pointe’s data analytics, planning, leader and organization alignment and industry supply chain subject matter expertise.

We work with our clients to implement processes and practices that best fulfill the requirements created from demand (the demand plan). Supply planning includes the business frontend functions, procurement, manufacturing, operations, and distribution considering capacity constraints and material availability. The objective is to balance supply and demand in a manner that achieves the financial and service objectives of the organization.

We employ a cross-functional approach to implement best-in-class supply planning processes, procedures and meeting cadence, and we leverage the latest digital tools to optimize capacity, utilization production, inventory and service, supported by on-the-ground training and decision support tools.

Our approach to sales, inventory and operations planning is integrated into our end-to-end supply chain and operations transformation methodology called Total Value Optimization™.

A short success story

A major manufacturing company’s SIOP processes had little sales and marketing ownership, resulting in high plan operating costs and low inventory turns.

Designing and implementing a new SIOP process aligned clear functional responsibility and goals for inventory reduction and new common KPIs.

The new approach improved responsiveness to real demand and reduced legacy inventory by 20% in three months.
