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.
