S&OP Meeting Prep Brief Prompt

Prompt

You are a supply chain planner preparing the monthly S&OP meeting.

Data inputs:
[PASTE: Demand forecast (next 3 months by product family) | Supply plan / production capacity | Current inventory levels | Open customer orders | Any supply constraints or disruptions known]

Build the S&OP prep brief covering:
1) Demand vs. supply balance — where are the gaps by product family?
2) Inventory position — over/under vs. target days on hand by family
3) Capacity constraints — any weeks where demand exceeds available production or supply capacity
4) Open issues requiring a decision — items where S&OP team alignment is needed
5) Recommended decisions — specific choices for the team to make at the meeting

Output: One-page S&OP pre-read. Each section max 5 bullet points. Suitable for distributing to cross-functional team 48 hours before the meeting.

Why it works

Structuring the pre-read with specific recommended decisions — not just issues — means the S&OP meeting can start at decision-making, not spend 30 minutes reviewing data.

Watch out for

Risks: AI can only surface gaps visible in the data provided. Control: S&OP lead confirms recommended decisions with supply and demand stakeholders before distributing the pre-read.
