in this module that all potential demands on manufacturing capacity are collected and coordinated. Demand management includes activities that ranges from determining and estimating the demand from customers, through converting specific customer orders into promised delivery dates, to helping balance demand with supply.
Sales and operations planning Sales and operations planning (SOP) is probably the least understood aspect of manufacturing planning and control. However - the payoffs from a well-designed and –executed sales and operations plan are large. Here we discuss the process for determining aggregate levels of production. The managerial objective is to develop an overall business plan, which integrates the various functional planning efforts in a company whose manufacturing portion is embodied in the operations plan. The sales and operations plan links strategic goals to production and coordinates the various planning efforts in a business, including marketing planning, financial planning, operations planning, human resource planning, and so on. If the sales and operations plan does not represent an integrated, cross-functional plan, the business can fail to succeed in its markets.
