S&OP Meeting Prep

Q: How do I know the S&OP Meeting Prep output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every gap >5% has a proposed lever with a cost — no naked gaps; Gaps expressed in units and dollars, so finance and operations read the same page; Exactly 1–3 decisions on the agenda, each with options, costs, and a recommendation; Allocation scenarios name which customers/tiers get shorted — no abstract "reduce supply".

Prepare an S&OP cycle readout that surfaces the demand-supply gaps and forces the three decisions the meeting must make. Use when asked to prep an S&OP meeting, build the executive S&OP deck, summarize demand vs supply for the monthly cycle, or prepare a supply review readout. Produces a gap table, scenario levers with costs, an inventory projection, a decisions-required list, and a pre-read package.

What to give it

▸Planning horizon & buckets — typically months 1–18, decisions concentrated in months 1–3

▸Demand plan — consensus forecast by family, plus notable changes since last cycle

▸Supply plan — capacity, committed material, known constraints (lines, labor, supplier allocations)

▸Inventory position — current on-hand, in-transit, and targets by family

▸Carry-overs — decisions or actions from last cycle and their status

▸Financial context — revenue plan the volumes must support; standard margins if trade-off math is needed

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every gap >5% has a proposed lever with a cost — no naked gaps

✓Gaps expressed in units and dollars, so finance and operations read the same page

✓Exactly 1–3 decisions on the agenda, each with options, costs, and a recommendation

✓Allocation scenarios name which customers/tiers get shorted — no abstract "reduce supply"

✓Carry-over actions from last cycle reviewed before new ones are added

✓Inventory projection reflects the *recommended* levers, not the unresolved plan

✓Decision deadlines stated where levers expire (expedite windows, build-ahead cutoffs)

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not spend meeting time re-forecasting — forecast disputes go back to the demand review step

Do not present a gap without at least one priced lever — that's reporting a problem, not planning

Do not bury the decisions at slide 30 — they open the meeting

Do not show inventory only in units — value and days-of-supply are what the CFO and planner each need

Do not let "allocate" stay abstract — someone specific gets shorted, and the meeting must own that choice
