Structure S&OP planning by creating a recurring cycle with deliverables including a demand plan, supply plan, and inventory plan. Perform gap analysis during the S&OP cycle to align cross-functional decisions and achieve supply chain cost and service optimization.

Improve demand forecasting accuracy by applying methods based on MAPE, Bias, and Tracking Signal metrics. Use ABC-XYZ segmentation to group products and apply targeted forecasting approaches, reducing forecast errors and optimizing downstream supply chain operations.

Redesign logistics networks by comparing baseline scenarios against DC consolidation, addition, or direct ship alternatives. Evaluate these distribution network scenarios against cost and service-level constraints to identify the optimal logistics network configuration.

Develop procurement strategy by applying Kraljic portfolio logic to categorize sourcing requirements and deploying supplier scorecards. This structured approach plans supplier sourcing while actively addressing risk mitigation across the supply chain.
