S&OP Counseling — The Continuous Battle Between Sales and Supply Chain
In this video, a supply chain manager expresses his frustration with the inaccurate forecasts provided by the demand planning team. He feels that the forecasts are inaccurate and that the demand planning team does not appreciate their work. The manager also feels that they are not given enough consideration or appreciation for the complexity of their job.
The manager's frustration is understandable. Inaccurate forecasts can have a significant impact on the supply chain, leading to stockouts, lost sales, and increased costs. It is important for the demand planning team to work closely with the supply chain team to ensure that the forecasts are accurate and that everyone is on the same page.
