Why not implement S&OP this Christmas – Slade style
Posted by Dave Jordan on Thu, Nov 24, 2011
Christmas is coming so who better than Slade to suggest you give S&OP as a present to your business?
Are you looking at your sales chart on the wall? 
Is it the time you have to stop the fall?
You’ve tried overpaying salesmen,
You’ve loaded up the trade
Do you need to find a better way?
Chorus:
So here it is S&OP
Everybody should run one
Look to the future ; how?
Six months or even 1.
Are you guessing how much you’re going to sell?
Are you suffering high out of stock as well?
Does supply chain always tell you, pre SOP is best?
So why not work together for a test?
Chorus:
So here it is S&OP
Everybody should run one
Look to the future ; how?
Six months or even 1.
What will the salesmen do
When they see their targets being met?
Ah ah
They’ll be changing the chart gradient on the wall.
Not for them will sales fall and fall.
When you implement S&OP you make quite a change
Looking back the old way will feel so strange
Chorus:
So here it is S&OP
Everybody should run one
Look to the future ; how?
Six months or even 1.
