S&OP Performance Metrics & Dashboards
Real-time S&OP KPI tracking with plan vs actual variance analysis achieving 90%+ plan adherence versus 70-75% through continuous performance visibility and corrective action triggering.
Why This Matters
What It Is
Real-time S&OP KPI tracking with plan vs actual variance analysis achieving 90%+ plan adherence versus 70-75% through continuous performance visibility and corrective action triggering.
Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)1. S&OP plan approved: September forecast 150K units, 95% service level target, $3M revenue. 2. Month progresses: no real-time tracking of plan vs actual performance. 3. End of month: actual results compiled - 135K units (90% of plan), 88% service level (miss target), $2.7M revenue (90% of budget). 4. Post-month review: 'What happened? Why did we miss plan?'. 5. Root causes identified too late: demand forecast error, production delays, stockouts. 6. Next month S&OP: same issues repeat (no mid-month corrective action capability). 7. 70-75% plan adherence due to lack of real-time visibility and corrective action.
Characteristics
- • ERP Systems (e.g., Oracle, SAP)
- • CRM Systems (e.g., Salesforce)
- • Business Intelligence Tools (e.g., Oracle Business Intelligence, Anaplan)
- • Excel for data consolidation and analysis
- • Email for communication and updates
- • S&OP Dashboards for KPI visualization
Pain Points
- ⚠ Data silos and integration challenges leading to inconsistent or delayed data.
- ⚠ Heavy reliance on manual processes, increasing the risk of errors and slowing down the S&OP cycle.
- ⚠ Inconsistent CRM data hygiene impairing forecasting accuracy.
- ⚠ Lack of real-time visibility into supply chain disruptions or demand changes.
- ⚠ Complexity in selecting the right mix of KPIs that align with business goals.
- ⚠ Limited automation in data gathering and reporting processes.
- ⚠ Dependence on legacy systems that may not support real-time data integration.
Future State
(Agentic)1. Performance Monitoring Agent tracks plan vs actual daily: 'Day 10 of September - 48K units sold (vs 50K plan, -4% variance), 92% service level (vs 95% target, -3%), revenue $1.44M (vs $1.5M plan, -4%)'. 2. Agent identifies variances exceeding thresholds: 'SKU#789 service level 85% (vs 95% target, -10% breach) - stockout due to supplier delay'. 3. Alert Agent triggers corrective action: 'SKU#789 stockout alert - recommend expedite alternate supplier, estimated 3-day recovery, $5K expedite cost vs $25K lost revenue'. 4. Agent tracks corrective action effectiveness: 'SKU#789 expedited shipment received day 13, service level recovered to 94% day 15, total lost revenue $8K (vs $25K without action)'. 5. Monthly performance summary: 'September actual 148K units (99% of plan), 94% service level (vs 95% target), $2.96M revenue (99% of budget) - 90%+ plan adherence through real-time corrective action'. 6. Continuous improvement: agent learns from variances to improve next month's plan accuracy.
Characteristics
