St. Paul, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/19/2018 -- Synchrono, a leader in modern demand-driven manufacturing software, released its 2018 Top Ten Trends in Modern Demand-Driven Manufacturing. One trend is strategic sales & operations planning (S&OP) and business process planning. Modern Demand-Driven Manufacturers use S&OP tools to model, develop, and compare scenarios for aligning supply and capacity against projected demand. The Report also notes that Modern Demand-Driven Manufacturers are changing the S&OP paradigm from a short-term outlook to a longer-term (months to years).
Analysts covering manufacturing have noted a sharp increase in inquiries around S&OP (as well as the digital supply chain). The Report suggests this may be manufacturers responding to the economic recovery with the desire to be more strategic in planning investments for the organization. To corroborate, over the last year Synchrono experienced more interest in S&OP solutions from multi-national organizations looking to roll up their projected demand for greater negotiation power with their suppliers - and to determine how and where to standardize on production technologies.
