Process innovation and change are intricate always due to the complexity involved in altering the
decisions, tasks, and skill sets of the people involved in the course of action. Sales and
Operations Planning (S&OP) is an integrated business process which enables the organization to
formalize and integrate the planning process, achieve focus, and co-ordination among all
managerial functions. Updated sales plan, production plan, inventory plan, backlog, financial
plan, and new product development plan are a part of S&OP. It helps the management to
understand the current position of the company, anticipate the future consequences, and plan
necessary actions accordingly.
This is a core business practice which is applied to conserve a margin and simultaneously satisfy
the market demand. In any business, a well established S&OP process is the mark of excellence.
A sales and operations plan is generally prepared on the basis on the Annual Operations Plan
(AOP) which is based on sales and supply. Accordingly, an S&OP plan is solely to accomplish
the AOP targets of the business. Each and every company does some form of S&OP already.
S&OP to enhance Supply Chain Management:
Supply chain in an organization is under tremendous pressure due to its increasing complexity,
and supply chain volatility which makes it to face challenges that exceed those of the past. These
mounting pressures make the business face difficulties in achieving the desired outcomes.
Therefore, increasing number of organizations today, are opting for S&OP to align their demand
plans, and achieve desired performance results.
There are many organizations that do not directly produce products. Instead they procure
products from various sources and offer them at a higher price, short lead time, and higher
delivery fidelity comparatively over other sources. Risk of obsolescence and overstock of
inventory are avoided for these companies. They are better beneficiaries of a robust S&OP
process. Through this process, the company is able to minimize or avoid inventory and cost risks.
Textile and apparel industries deal with many variables such as seasonal demand, multi channel
demand, and drastic changes in fashion, styles, and colors. Apart from this the economic
complexities also influence the buying power of the consumers ultimately affecting the apparel
industries and their profit margins. So, good statistical tools are needed to review the past
performance of the industry, and forecast for the future possibilities.
This helps the apparel industry to perform sales, operational, financial, and supply chain
analytics, making it easy to identify to identify potential dilemma spots, foresee approaching
trends, and improve results. A recent research report reveals that with appropriate S&OP,
revenue can increase from 2% to 5%, and reduces inventories from 7% to 15% lesser. The
profitability of a new product launch can be up to 20%.
S&OP prospers on the collaboration and honest communication among organizational players.
Implementing the process enhances teamwork both at the executive level and operations
management.

The story of Chennai Silk starts with A KulandaivelMudaliar, from a small village near
Tiruppur, who was a weaver of dhotis. He set up a 100 sqft showroom in Madurai in 1962 to sell
khadi. Over the next few years, he set up 12 more "KhadiVastralays" across small towns in
Tamil Nadu, gradually increasing the range of products and carrying on wholesale as well retail
operations. A large multi-brand showroom was set up in Tiruppur in 1978, followed by one in
Erode and another in Coimbatore. They were called KovaiKumaran Silks. His eight sons
subsequently joined the business. Then, they opened a 125,000 square feet store in Chennai in
2000. The name of the showroom was changed to Chennai Silks as there was already a Kumaran
Silks in town. Not only this the group has an online sales platform since 2000. This spate of
