Critique the CCC S&OP process against the pre-requisites for S&OP
and explain the implications of the weaknesses for the S&OP process.
Consider each of the following 5 pre-requisites as described in the
lecture and defined by Ling and Goddard (1988):
• Commitment and People (20%)
• Defining Product Families (20%)
• Planning Horizon Length (20%)
• Time Fences (Demand and Supply) (20%)
• Supporting Tools (20%)
Note: consider the CCC S&OP process as it is by period 3 but you can use examples
from the other two periods. The first pre-requisite “Understanding S&OP” is not to be
covered.
