What Is S&OP?


Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is the process of

       sales, manufacturing, procurement, distribution, finance)

  Testing assumptions and alternatives (strategic and operational)

  Optimizing decisions for profitability (e.g. gross margin or EBIT)
       or value (e.g. EVA)

  Making decisions feasible for execution

  Aligning tactical decisions with strategy and goals

              Demand that meets the                                     Demand
                 business’ criteria and can
                 be met
                                                                 Sales
              Demand that meets the
                 business’ criteria but
                 exceeds available supply
                                                                         Unwanted
              Demand that does not meet                                 Demand
                 the business’ minimum
                 criteria and is thus not
                 wanted

What Is S&OP Crucial?




S&OP: Then and Now
Wednesday, May 05, 2004
Vinay Asgekar, Jill Gazzi


       The S&OP process, by definition, has always
       been a multidisciplinary process. But up until
       now, the lack of technology prevented multiple
       groups from simultaneously participating in the
       process. In many cases, the scope was limited
       by region.

     Focused DSAP activity that was launched in 2000
            4     R/3 clusters with multiple strategic business units
             Multiple           APOs by strategic business units
             One        business warehouse (BW)

 Today 90% of DuPont is on SAP
     75% is in the DSAP activity

Data Flows and timings


   The timing of data extraction is critical for both the plan and
   actual transaction data.

   The actual transaction information from R/3 is extracted every
   day by scheduling the BW extractors

   The Final Demand Plan for the month is automatically
   scheduled to be extracted into BW periodically at the third
   work day before the end of the month

   The DSI (Demand, Supply & Inventory) plan is scheduled to be
   extracted into BW periodically at the third work day before the
   end of the month. The same data is converted into value for
   Revenue Outlook and Inventory Projection

   The detailed Production Schedule is extracted to BW at the
   end of each week


 SAP AG 2005, SAPPHIRE Copenhagen / SLOT # / Speaker Name / 37
Performance and Archiving


   The performance of the reports can be maintained only by
   managing the volume of data in the individual Info Cubes

   The plan for each month is stored in BW Info Cubes as
   separate versions. There is a minimum of six previous
   versions of plan and the older versions are deleted two times
   a year

   The actual transaction data up to a minimum of two years in
   the past will be available for reporting in the Info Cubes. The
   older transactions will get deleted two times a year.

   This above strategy is purely for supporting the performance
   of BP reporting and is not part of the corporate archiving
   strategy for transaction information

  • 37. Data Flows and timings The timing of data extraction is critical for both the plan and actual transaction data. The actual transaction information from R/3 is extracted every day by scheduling the BW extractors The Final Demand Plan for the month is automatically scheduled to be extracted into BW periodically at the third work day before the end of the month The DSI (Demand, Supply & Inventory) plan is scheduled to be extracted into BW periodically at the third work day before the end of the month. The same data is converted into value for Revenue Outlook and Inventory Projection The detailed Production Schedule is extracted to BW at the end of each week  SAP AG 2005, SAPPHIRE Copenhagen / SLOT # / Speaker Name / 37
  • 38. Performance and Archiving The performance of the reports can be maintained only by managing the volume of data in the individual Info Cubes The plan for each month is stored in BW Info Cubes as separate versions. There is a minimum of six previous versions of plan and the older versions are deleted two times a year The actual transaction data up to a minimum of two years in the past will be available for reporting in the Info Cubes. The older transactions will get deleted two times a year. This above strategy is purely for supporting the performance of BP reporting and is not part of the corporate archiving strategy for transaction information  SAP AG 2005, SAPPHIRE Copenhagen / SLOT # / Speaker Name / 38
