Today’s best-in-class organizations are succeeding in reducing costs, growing top line revenue, and enhancing their value to customers by pushing their S&OP process beyond simple matching of supply to demand. But many organizations find it difficult to move beyond this plateau to reach the next level of S&OP maturity, where the ultimate goal is to create one plan for the business, using a predictive process model that drives priorities and higher performance.

The Aberdeen Group's report, S&OP: Beyond the Demand/Supply Match - A Journey, Not a Destination, explores how to take the next step in the journey to a mature S&OP process, and reveals key advantages best-in-class companies exploit to lift themselves to a higher level of performance.

- 58% more likely to quickly respond to unplanned events in alignment with S&OP objectives
- 77% more able to evaluate unconstrained planning scenarios
