Sales & Operation Planning: An Executive Update

The approach to S&OP detailed in this book is even more powerful today than it was two decades ago when Bob co-authored his original six books. This book is an update to the original S&OP books. Unlike many fads that depend on the latest technology, S&OP stresses what is at the heart of every business: people. Applying these concepts to any business is going to make it better, regardless of industry.

The author reflects on a lifetime dedicated to providing Executive Leaders the tools needed to align markets and operational teams to reduce complexities and achieve a higher level of business performance. Stressed is the importance of people over technology and provides tools on culture change, overcoming sharp disagreement to algining human energy to overcome conflict. The author’s insights in this latest book will ensure eS&OP will continue to shape how companies manage their operations and supply chains for decades to come.

For anyone who is serious about S&OP and wanting to take their business to the next level, this S&OP Executive Update is an absolute must read.
