### The Intersection of Supply Chain and Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)

Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) is a complex, critical integrated business management process whereby executive leadership regularly focuses on aligning and synchronizing all functions within the organization. While S&OP has been around since the 1980s, until very recently, businesses have not had the right tools to align information and readily react. As new supporting technology has emerged, front-running companies have increasingly focused on S&OP to improve profitability and drive competitive advantage.

In this white paper, you will learn:

- How S&OP works
- How it intersects with supply chain planning and execution
- The key steps companies need to take to enable successful S&OP processes to drive profitability and competitive advantage
