| Omschrijving |
Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) is a much applied approach to align demand and supply in manufacturing companies. As a main tool for tactical planning, it is often assumed to be rather fixed in its processes, organisation and decision-making. Moreover, as being oriented at the tactical level of decisions, it relates to decisions on inventory, maintenance planning, capacity allocation, and usually, within S&OP, in case of risks and uncertainties, scenario planning will be conducted. Increasingly, it is realized that the often promoted uniform design of S&OP is not fitting real life situations and that a contextual approach is best. This course provides contemporary knowledge and coverage of S&OP literature, which offers insights into how S&OP can be employed in supply chains. Moreover, the course entails a strong practical orientation with various case studies discussed, mini-guest lectures and an assignment which simulates the S&OP process as it is conducted in companies. |
