Efficient Resource Utilization to Drive Revenue Growth: Tailored SIOP Solutions for Sustainable Growth
Today’s global economic challenges make targeted and robust planning increasingly difficult and negatively impact company performance
Global supply chains are facing unprecedented challenges—from demand fluctuations and supply disruptions to inefficient planning and operational misalignment. Without a solid framework for Sales, Inventory, and Operations Planning (SIOP), companies risk higher costs and efficiency losses, which ultimately prevent them from achieving their planned output targets. The result is a massive competitive disadvantage as customers turn to competitors due to poor delivery performance.
Overcoming these challenges requires a strategic, data-driven approach that ensures seamless collaboration between Sales, Supply Chain Management, Procurement, and Production.
Key Challenges:
- Unpredictable volatility in demand and supply
- Material shortages and working capital constraints
- Long lead times and inefficiencies in procurement
- Lack of real-time transparency to assess plan adjustments due to internal and external factors
CEOs, Heads of Production, or SCM Executives, are under unprecedented pressure to perform. Disruptions, material shortages, and inefficiencies in SIOP execution can cost millions in lost revenue. At TARGUS, we specialize in transforming these challenges into opportunities by implementing and optimizing your SIOP (Sales, Inventory, and Operations Planning) process. We achieve this through a dedicated analysis leading to both short- and long-term measures. We don’t just develop a high-level strategy—we actively drive implementation together with your teams and ensure tangible progress.
We support you with:
- SIOP planning and implementation as an end-to-end supply chain solution
- Supply chain efficiency improvement and cost reduction
- Production planning and control
- Cross-functional collaboration across all departments
- Make-to-Stock vs. Make-to-Order strategies, including supplier, logistics, and procurement optimization
- Manufacturing performance improvement
- OEE enhancement
- Working capital optimization
The TARGUS Approach: End-to-end supply chain solutions that enhance planning, inventory, and production efficiency: “We don’t just design strategies – we implement them.”
At TARGUS, we are known for our strong implementation capability. We not only develop data-driven strategies but also execute them together with you.
What sets us apart:
- Tailored solutions: Your company is unique! Together with your experts, we develop a customized SIOP strategy that addresses your specific challenges to achieve the best possible results.
- Cross-functional expertise: We break down existing silos, foster active communication, and enable seamless collaboration between Sales, Supply Chain Management, Procurement, and Production.
- Execution excellence: We implement your tailored SIOP strategy and ensure it becomes sustainably embedded in your organization.
How you experience us in projects:
The key element of our implementation strength is our hands-on mentality. The central instrument is the WAR-Room (We Are Responsible), which is set up according to project requirements. It brings together employees from all relevant departments, strengthening accountability and team spirit. We initially moderate the sessions and then gradually empower employees to take ownership.
Through a clear visualization of the internal value stream—from goods receipt to goods issue—disruptions become transparent and can be resolved immediately. With production planning, procurement, SCM, and production present on site, alignment happens in real time, eliminating latency and breaking down silos.
For the strategic and process-oriented development of your organization, we implement the SIOP methodology and integrate all relevant departments. Through a structured approach with clear input/output requirements and responsibilities, we establish a governance process in which Sales, Procurement, SCM, and Production collaborate to develop reliable output scenarios based on customer demand and internal/external capacity constraints.
Project Successes
In previous projects, the introduction of SIOP routines and the optimization of related processes have increased production output by 10–20%. Beyond strategic and procedural improvements, our hands-on mentality also drives operational success. For example, through targeted supplier management, we reduced the number of open orders by over 90%, significantly improving material availability—a key prerequisite for effective production planning.
At the same time, forecast accuracy—both short- and long-term—was significantly improved. Whereas frequent last-minute replanning used to be necessary, the optimized processes now enable a stable frozen zone of at least four months—a decisive step toward more reliable and efficient production planning.
As a result of a project with TARGUS, you receive a jointly developed and robust production program plan. We further develop your organization along the SIOP methodology, enabling you to respond flexibly to supply and demand fluctuations and to increase your revenue—even in uncertain times.
