- 3. The three legs of management in any function are process, technology and people. Organizations
should have a robust S&OP process, should have the technology to enable that process and a
mature people organization to run the function. Quiet often one to all the three legs are missing in
large organizations.
Many organizations may have the right people but lack a collaborative
planning process that is enabled by the right technology. Real time data is
not available or the cost of technology is prohibitive. In technology, we are
referring to the ability of collect the right data at the right level, using the right
software package to crunch the data and analyze it, helping heads to
take decisions.
Finally many organizations lack the right skill sets to crunch the data, or to run a complicated software
or even a strong personality to enforce a collaborative S&OP process.
