Excellent Reality Check - People and Process

Never before has the subject of S & OP been presented in a novel-like style that highlights the people issues involved in a cross-funtional implementation. The authors did well to present real issues in bringing about what they refer to as "organized common sense" within the context of a hypothetical company with players comprising almost every function in an enterprise. This book provides insight into real challenges and issues in implementing S & OP. If you are looking for a 'How To' book, best you look at other literatures on the subject that deals with the details. This one gives you the 'whys' and 'why nots' of S & OP ... ideal primer for executive management.
