The Nexview S&OP Performance ArrowSM is a best practice benchmarking tool we use at the beginning of an assessment to get the perceptions of individuals and groups throughout the organization. For us, it gives directional indicators that set the stage for further study and quantitative analyses that lead to a benefits case and definition of an improvement program. We follow up with the tool during an implementation project to define a maturity and continuous improvement path. We also use and include this tool in our training course for participants to benchmark their current process.
The S&OP Performance ArrowSM is a nifty Excel tool that covers 27 S&OP best practices across the dimensions of S&OP Design, Technology Capability, Content (of your S&OP process and meetings), Behaviors, and Results Management. Each best practice has a few questions that depending upon responses, calculates a “% Implemented” value which turns each best practice green, yellow, or red to produce a visual map of strengths and development areas. The specific questions can also be changed to fit your particular situation if desired.
Based on how the user responds to the survey in the tool, it outputs the graphical summaries as shown below. (Sample results shown).
