Supply, Inventory & Operations Planning

A robust Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning (SIOP) process is essential to companies being able to quickly respond to unforeseen events, such as COVID, and to intensifying global marketplace competition. Companies with mature SIOP processes will have the needed visibility to critical demand and supply, which enables consistent service to customers in a cost-effective manner. A&M helps clients realize a pragmatic approach to SIOP which results in improved margins, optimized inventory, and business agility.
