A key part of the programme is skills and knowledge transfer from Enchange to your team. When we leave your team will be able to drive your S&OP process.
Enchange will be with the Clients every step of the way, through the initial stages of implementation, to the running of the meeting cycles to the bespoke tailoring of plans and procedures for Clients’ particular business.

"… I have worked with a number for consulting firms and I would say that Enchange has not just theoretical knowledge, but from a practical point of view, an excellent grasp of how to make any supply chain work more effectively….."

The Enchange approach to S&OP
Enchange will work with your team to implement the right S&OP process for your organisation.
We will ask for a team of operational managers from key disciplines (e.g. Marketing, Sales, Planning,Distribution, Logistics, Finance, IT) to work with a small Enchange team (generally 1 or 2 consultants). Working with our extensive toolkit this combined team will design and implement an S&OP process that exactly fits the needs of your organisation.
During the initial phase of the implementation (usually lasting 13 weeks) the Enchange team will:
- Design the S&OP process, procedures and documentation.
- Establish an S&OP calendar and meeting.
- Design and implement a set of S&OP tools, sometimes including basic information tools linked to transaction systems.
- Establish an S&OP information management process and shared data store.
- Train the S&OP team.
Why Does the Enchange Approach Work?
- We draw on a wealth of S&OP implementation experience from small and medium size enterprises to global corporations.
- We collaborate closely with our clients transferring our skills to you.
- Our hands-on approach puts a consultant on clients’ sites to guide you through the process.
- We thoroughly train each member of the client team, defining their role and what is expected from them.

- One size DOES NOT fit all. Our bespoke approach tailors the S&OP process to your business.
