The Enchange Approach to S&OP
Enchange will work with your team to implement the right Sales & Operational Planning (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 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.
