Checklist for s&op process effectiveness
Many companies invest significant energy and resources
into establishing a robust S&oP framework, and often
with success. They enjoy significant business benefits
from balancing demand and supply while aligning various

However, the subsequent challenge often receives much
less attention: how to maintain its effectiveness over
time. As business environments evolve and organizational priorities shift, there is a risk that even the bestdesigned S&OP processes can deteriorate or become less
aligned with business needs.

Checklist for S&OP process effectiveness
Victim to its own success
When processes flow smoothly and targets are consistently met, there is a natural tendency to shift focus away
from the very systems that facilitated the success. This is
often seen in S&OP. When everything appears to be going
well, the drive to maintain and improve the process often
diminishes. Maintaining the vigour and relevance of
S&OP requires continuous attention and adaptation. It
is about fostering an environment of ongoing improvement and engagement.
Ensuring engagement
S&OP maturity development in the company should be
based on a clear roadmap, to ensure the process evolves
from a supply chain process to a business management
process. By building a truly cross-functional business
planning process, a company can ensure continued
engagement of the commercial and financial, as well as
operational, functions in the company.

Supply Chain Movement and Involvation created this
practical and actionable checklist aimed at ensuring that
your S&OP process remains a vital, effective process for
making the right decisions and driving business success.
Yes No
1. The company has an overall S&OP process owner in place. This process owner is
able to work across the board to resolve issues hampering the S&OP process and
continuously improve it.
2. The S&OP process is supported by an operational process owner who coordinates
operational activities in close collaboration with the respective S&OP stakeholders.
3. All stakeholder roles and responsibilities have been assigned. Shortcomings
(whatever the reason behind them) are flagged and addressed through the S&OP
process owners.
4. The S&OP process is documented in a playbook or Way of Working document, it is
maintained by its owner and is stored in a corporate standards system.
5. The S&OP process is part of the company’s Learning & Development programme,
featuring a tiered skill matrix tailored to the varying roles and responsibilities of
participants.
6. A separate Sales & Operations Execution (S&OE) process is in place to deal with
short-term decision-making, ensuring the S&OP process focusses on the mid-term
tactical horizon.
7. Every review within the S&OP process ends with a reflection round where
stakeholders are encouraged to suggest improvements. The S&OP process owners
make sure issues are addressed and/or feedback is given.
8. A periodic continuous improvement meeting is conducted, where adherence to the
process is assessed. This includes the assessment of the actual maturity level against
the company’s target.
9. The business objectives are translated into KPIs, which are integrated into each
participant’s personal annual targets. Precise target settings clarify which KPIs are
being optimized. When deviations occur, an action plan is readily implemented to
realign them with established targets.
10. The company’s leadership sees the S&OP process as the means to achieve its
strategic business objectives and actively participates in the executive S&OP meeting.
