The implementation of an integrated S&OP is one of the main activities carried out by Bonfiglioli Consulting Team to support the company in achieving its goals. The S&OP key aspect is to share and formalize the constraints on one hand of production processes; and on the other of the service levels expected by customers. In addition it establishes coordination rules between various Commercial, Planning, Production and Logistics departments. The goal of the S&OP approach is to streamline production planning based on demand variability while ensuring production efficiency. The implementation of an integrated S&OP has ensured feasibility, stability and reliability of Company medium-long term production plans:
• Anticipating in MPS (Master Production Schedule) capacity requirements (Capacity Requirements Planning)
• Scheduling resources in advance over a one-year rolling timeframe
• Assigning the analysis and resolution of only the remaining critical issues to S&OP meetings
