Integrated Tactical Planning (ITP) and S&OE
Weekly tactical planning that turns the IBP plan into executable demand, supply, and inventory decisions, connected to Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE) on the ground.
Symptoms we hear
- The monthly plan is out of date by week two
- Firefighting and expedites run the week
- Supply and demand changes are handled by email
- Nobody owns the gap between the plan and what actually ships
Financial impact
- P&L
- Premium freight and overtime
- P&L
- OTIF chargebacks and lost sales
- Balance sheet
- Inventory in the right place
Best for: Operations that live in weekly firefighting mode.
Our approach
Assess
Review how demand, supply, and inventory decisions are made at the tactical level today and where they break down.
Design
Design the 6-stage tactical process, ownership, and hand-offs to and from IBP and S&OE.
Implement
Stand up the weekly cadence, embed it with planners, and mature it through the improvement backlog.
Deliverables
- Weekly ITP cadence and decision forum
- S&OE exception management and escalation rules
- Time-fence and plan-change policy
- Tactical KPIs: schedule adherence, plan stability, OTIF
