Find a case study for a Amazon related to S&OP.The case study should follow the structured problem-solving process of DMAIC as follows:

Define the Problem- identify the company (it can be the same as your strategy assignment) and what its planning process needs to be within its supply chain (e.g., MillerCoors would focus on an S&OP process between it and its distributors).

Measure/Analyze- provide a dummy data set for four week's of data where there is supply and demand data.Analyze the data accordingly.

Improve/Control- using the analysis, determine how you as a leader will bring together the sales and operations team within one unified plan.

What is S&OP? The Goal of Salespeople vs Operations

S&OP stands forSales and Operational Planning. While most outside of SCM have heard of the termsplanandforecast,most novices to supply chain management have never heard of S&OP, much less understand its purpose.

Typically, a company's forecasting process is longer term, and completed by a different group of stakeholders than those who are responsible for the overall supply chain.For example, the forecasting department probably works within a "Supply Chain Planning" department of some sort, and completes the plan within a specific group of stakeholders in the supply chain.But as the time elapses and gets closer to the point of execution, how can a company ensure that everyone is aligned on next steps?This is where an S&OP plan comes into play.
