Imagine discovering exactly what stage of S&OP maturity your company has reached, which capabilities need to evolve, and how to turn this knowledge into a development path capable of improving decisions and results. S&OP maturity can be assessed in a structured way, allowing you to understand the current condition, identify opportunities for evolution, and establish a coherent path forward. This book presents a complete approach to understanding, diagnosing, and evolving S&OP maturity.
You will find a model organized into five progressive levels - Reactive, Basic, Structured, Advanced, and End-to-End - allowing you to recognize different stages of development and understand what characterizes each one. Throughout the book, you will understand how maturity relates to planning capability, decision integration, the relationship with execution, and the different dimensions that make up S&OP.
The book also presents diagnosis as a tool for turning perceptions about the process into a structured assessment of the organization's current situation. One of the book's central resources is the maturity checklist, consisting of 50 questions distributed across the five levels, allowing you to identify the highest level whose characteristics are present. Applying the checklist provides an initial view of maturity.
The broader assessment allows you to deepen this view by relating the results to maturity dimensions, gaps, and the capabilities that need to evolve. You will learn how to consolidate assessments, classify results, analyze maturity by dimension, and understand the relationship between different capabilities. This perspective allows you to recognize imbalances that can remain hidden when maturity is reduced to a single score.
The book then moves to a decisive question: how can diagnosis be transformed into evolution? You will learn how to identify maturity gaps, analyze their causes, select solutions, and establish development priorities. Evolution across the five levels is presented as a progressive journey, allowing you to understand the conditions required to move from one stage to the next. In the chapter dedicated to the roadmap, you will find the foundations for transforming the desired stage into an organized development path.
Defining the destination, sequencing initiatives, assigning responsibilities, establishing monitoring indicators, reviewing the roadmap, and following the evolution provide an integrated view of the maturity journey. By mastering this approach, you will be able to better assess the condition of S&OP, identify the greatest development opportunities, direct improvement investments, and make more informed decisions about the evolution of the process.
For professionals involved in S&OP, planning, Supply Chain, Demand, Finance, and management, the knowledge presented provides a foundation for turning maturity into an organizational development tool. You will be able to move from a general perception of S&OP maturity toward a structured understanding of where the organization is, where it intends to go, which gaps need to be addressed, and how to organize its evolution.
S&OP Maturity: Diagnosis, Evolution and Roadmap was developed for those who want to understand maturity as a tool for analysis and transformation. By the end of the book, you will be better prepared to assess the current stage, recognize opportunities, set priorities, and build an evolution path capable of contributing to better decisions and superior results.
