The PLAN SUPPLY CHAIN process represents the tactical planning (typically Sales Inventory & Operations Planning) process. It involves the key constituents of the company’s selling and operations teams, as well as key customers and suppliers. Plan Supply Chain addresses a key weakness in many companies of moving the team from many operating plans to one! Too often Sales, Marketing, Planning and Accounting have different and unsynchronized plans (and goals).

Some of the Planning Best Practices are shown here:
