Paikka: Etäkoulutus, Teams
Aika: 23.03.2026 13:00 - 16:00

Why is this training relevant?

In today’s world, companies face constant uncertainty — from geopolitical tensions and raw material shortages to supply chain disruptions. At the same time, increasing sustainability requirements are putting pressure on organizations to develop more environmentally friendly business models. Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is a key tool that helps companies respond quickly to change, streamline their supply chains, and integrate sustainability into their overall strategy.

What benefits and value does the organization gain from this training?

This training provides companies with concrete tools for supply chain planning and management, enhancing flexibility and preparedness for disruptions. In addition, it helps participants build an S&OP process that supports the company’s sustainability goals.

Example:
A company utilizing an effective S&OP process was able to respond proactively to the global microchip shortage. By anticipating market conditions, it secured enough raw materials in advance and shifted part of its production to less critical segments. This not only ensured continued deliveries but also maintained customer satisfaction while keeping costs under control.

What will you learn from the training?

  • You will understand the fundamentals and concept of Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP).
  • You will identify ways to manage different situations within the S&OP process.
  • You will explore how sustainability introduces new ways of thinking and operating in business.
  • You will gain ideas on what to consider when moving toward a more ecological and sustainable future.

Who is this training for?

This training is designed for:

  • Leaders of planning and supply chain functions in companies.
  • Specialists and employees responsible for supply chain planning and development.
  • Professionals working in development and strategy roles who want to strengthen organizational resilience and promote sustainability-driven operations.

MAIN THEMES

1. Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)
An effective Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process is vital for every company’s decision-making.

  • How can you balance customer demand with production and supply chain capabilities?
  • When functioning properly, S&OP forms the backbone of a company’s operations. If forecasts and production are misaligned, achieving cost efficiency becomes a challenge.
  • S&OP also serves as a tool for managing supply chain disruptions, such as those caused by the Covid pandemic or geopolitical turmoil.
  • How can S&OP support the supply chain during disruptions and enhance sustainability efforts?
  • You’ll hear practical examples of implementing an S&OP process, managing exceptions in the supply chain, and building flexibility.

2. Supply Chain Resilience and Sustainability

  • In recent years, global disruptions such as the pandemic, Covid-related lockdowns, and the cargo ship blockage in the Suez Canal have tested supply chains worldwide.
  • Similar disruptions will continue to occur — the key question is how companies can prepare for them.
  • A more efficient planning process (S&OP), combined with scenario-based approaches, helps organizations anticipate and adapt to various exceptional situations.
  • Sustainability has also become an integral part of corporate strategy. How can the planning process (S&OP) support sustainability within companies?
