SOT – Strategic, Operational and Tactical Planning This week, we will show the impact of a successful SOT engagement in a Pharmaceutical and CPG Manufacturing environment. To recap, the SOT has already been completed and congruencies have been determined as such: Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Long-term Priorities (1-3 years): ·       Product Portfolio Management ·       Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management ·       Strategic Planning and Capacity Management ·       Financial Planning and Investment Mid-term Priorities (6-18 months): ·       Demand and Supply Planning ·       Production Scheduling and Efficiency ·       Quality Management ·       Supplier and Vendor Management Short-term Priorities (1-6 months) ·       Operational Execution and Monitoring ·       Inventory Management ·       Customer Service and Order Fulfillment ·       Issue Resolution and Continuous Feedback CPG Manufacturer: Long-term Priorities (1-3 years) ·       Strategic Product Development and Portfolio Management ·       Capacity Planning and Infrastructure Investment ·       Market Expansion and Brand Strategy ·       Sustainability and Regulatory Compliance Mid-term Priorities (6-18 months) ·       Demand and Supply Alignment ·       Operational Efficiency and Cost Management ·       Inventory Management and Distribution ·       Quality Control and Customer Satisfaction Short-term Priorities (1-6 months) ·       Order Fulfillment and Production Scheduling ·       Inventory and Stock Management ·       Supplier Coordination and Logistics ·       Market Response and Promotions The outcome of a successful SOT engagement yields the follow results (summarized): Pharma: •       Long-term: Focus on strategic planning, product portfolio management, regulatory compliance, capacity management, and financial planning. •       Mid-term: Emphasize demand and supply planning, production scheduling, quality management, and supplier relationships. •       Short-term: Concentrate on operational execution, inventory management, customer service, and issue resolution. CPG: •       Long-term: Focus on strategic product development, capacity planning, market expansion, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. •       Mid-term: Demand and supply alignment, operational efficiency, inventory management, and quality control. •       Short-term: Order fulfillment, inventory and stock management, supplier coordination, and market response. The high-level similarities in SOT planning for Pharma and CPG manufacturing comes from the need to manage complex supply chains, accurately forecast and meet demand, maintain rigorous quality standards, effectively manage product lifecycles, ensure financial health, focus on customer needs, and drive innovation. These common requirements drive similar planning processes and priorities across SOT levels in both industries. In the next posting, we will be showing the players/timing required for a successful SOT engagement.
