For supply planners, the monthly S&OP meeting isn’t just another checkpoint — it’s your stage.
Why Your S&OP Meeting Is Your Moment to Shine?
For supply planners, the monthly S&OP meeting isn’t just another checkpoint — it’s your stage.
It’s your opportunity to move beyond numbers and truly demonstrate the value you bring to the
business.
Yes, you’ll walk through what’s been planned and where inventories are projected to land. But
the real impact comes when you show how you arrived at those decisions — the trade-offs, the
scenarios, the forward thinking.
✅ Balancing stockouts vs. excess inventory
✅ Aligning with financial targets and service goals
✅ Minimizing cost without compromising readiness
✅ Anticipating future capacity constraints and bottlenecks
✅ Bridging short-term execution with long-term strategy
This is your chance to show that you’re not just reacting — you’re leading.
You’re not just planning for tomorrow, but building a resilient supply strategy that supports
growth and protects the business.
So next time you’re prepping for an S&OP, don’t just report.
Tell the story. Share the logic. Highlight the impact.
When you do, the room doesn’t just see a planner —
they see a LEADER.
How do you prepare for S&OP meetings?
Would love to hear how others make it count.
