Plan, produce and deliver with predictability and margin.
Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), inventory, flow and logistics for predictability, OTIF and margin. And, with M-APS, planning and scheduling connected to what really happens on the shop floor.
When sales, planning and the shop floor work from different numbers.
Commercial and operations apart
Each area plans with its own figures, the interfaces are poorly defined and every month ends with firefighting.
Inventory and service in conflict
Too much stock of what does not sell, shortages of what does, and delivery promises the plant cannot keep.
Sequencing by hand
The schedule lives in spreadsheets; setups, bottlenecks and maintenance are discovered when the order is already late.
One plan, from demand to delivery
S&OP turns separate plans into one decision, reviewed every month and executed every day.
Demand
a shared forecast, reviewed with sales
Supply
capacity, constraints and inventory policy
Reconciliation
one plan and one number, decided by leadership
Execution
sequencing, inventory, logistics and OTIF followed up
Planning and scheduling connected to the shop floor.
M-APS is Magellan's planning and scheduling platform. It connects demand forecasting, the master production plan, finite-capacity scheduling and shop-floor tracking in one loop, and explains every recommendation before a person approves it.
