In this episode of Center of Excellence – Pharma 4.0, we explore how Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is revolutionizing the pharmaceutical industry by breaking down traditional silos and driving digital transformation. Discover how leading pharma companies leverage AI, real-time data, and cross-functional collaboration to transform S&OP from a reactive process into a strategic powerhouse.

We’ll unpack:
🔹 The critical shift from fragmented planning (manual spreadsheets, departmental barriers) to integrated digital S&OP — unifying sales, supply chain, production, and finance.
🔹 How predictive analytics and automation enhance forecasting accuracy, optimize inventory, and respond to disruptions like disease outbreaks or regulatory shifts.
🔹 Tangible benefits including 30%+ operational efficiency gains, reduced waste, lower costs, and resilient supply chains that ensure reliable drug availability for patients.
🔹 S&OP’s role as a strategic enabler in Pharma 4.0, supporting omnichannel growth, regulatory compliance, and patient-centric innovation.

Join us to learn why modern S&OP is the backbone of agile, data-driven pharma operations — and how your organization can harness it to achieve operational excellence and superior patient care.
