- Situation
- The monthly S&OP cycle ran long and finished after the decisions it was meant to inform. Demand, supply and finance each planned off their own numbers, so the executive review re-argued the data instead of committing to a plan.
- Aufgabe
- Compress the cycle, put one reconciled set of numbers in front of the executive review, and make that review decide.
- Was ich getan habe
- Redesigned the four-step monthly cadence (demand review, supply review, reconciliation, executive S&OP), with a named owner, entry criteria and a decision log for each step.
- Configured the demand and supply review in the planning platform so every step worked from the same reconciled dataset.
- Built the reconciliation view that surfaced the gaps and the trade-off options the executive review had to choose between.
- Ran the first cycles hands-on and coached the client planners through hypercare.
- Ergebnis
- Planning cycle time down roughly 30–45%; the executive review now closes each month with signed decisions and a decision log instead of a re-run of the analysis.

- Situation
- Finished-goods inventory had grown faster than demand as the network added markets. Safety stock was set by rules of thumb rather than measured demand and lead-time variability, so cash was tied up without a service-level story to justify it.
- Aufgabe
- Take working capital out of finished goods without moving the service level the business had committed to.
- Was ich getan habe
- Rebuilt the safety-stock model on measured demand variability and actual supply lead-time variability by segment.
- Re-optimised stock targets against the promised service level rather than a flat days-of-cover rule.
- Segmented SKUs so the high-runner and long-tail portfolios got different policies.
- Set up the monthly review that keeps the targets current as variability shifts.
- Ergebnis
- Finished-goods inventory reduced by about 15–20% while the target service level held.

- Situation
- Several regions each ran their own planning process, calendar and definition of demand. There was no single number the business could point to, and cross-region supply moves were negotiated by email.
- Aufgabe
- Bring the regions onto one integrated planning process and a single source of demand truth without stalling the regional teams mid-cycle.
- Was ich getan habe
- Defined one target planning process and data model, then ran a region-by-region rollout so no region went dark during cutover.
- Stood up a single demand-truth layer that every region planned from.
- Aligned the planning calendars so cross-region supply decisions happened inside the cycle.
- Trained regional key users and ran a shared hypercare desk across time zones.
- Ergebnis
- Regions unified onto one integrated planning process: 5 planning regions on a single monthly cadence and one demand number, replacing separate region-by-region processes.
