{"product_id":"sales-and-operations-planning-in-shaun-snapp-9781939731135","title":"Sales and Operations Planning in Software","description":"S\u0026amp;OP is a commonly discussed but infrequently mastered area of planning. S\u0026amp;OP requires inputs from other planning systems, and requires collaboration on the part of Sales, Finance and Operations. S\u0026amp;OP is long term planning that attempts to match supply and demand and provides a financial plan to support the firm's strategy. S\u0026amp;OP is in part a subcategory of consensus based forecasting, however, it means driving to a consensus from what are more often than not branches within the company or entity that are more competitive than collaborative. This is no easy task. Beyond the political aspects of S\u0026amp;OP, S\u0026amp;OP is a software challenge because it means both planning at a higher level of aggregation than other planning processes, while also exposing the specific constraints so that those constraints can be evaluated for alteration. Secondly, if a change is made in the S\u0026amp;OP system, how does that change flow down to the lower level planning systems?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shaun Snapp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1939731135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939731135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scm Focus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.29d","brand":"Shaun Snapp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937682227455,"sku":"9781939731135","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1cf6ccc2-b629-484a-8122-f6a4231e4277.jpg?v=1681431438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sales-and-operations-planning-in-shaun-snapp-9781939731135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
