Beyond S&OP: Why M&OP is the New Best Practice for Retail Planning
Monday, November 02, 2026 / 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM MST
About the Session
Traditional S&OP no longer fits retail. Merchandise and operations planning connects merchant vision, financial targets and operational capacity in one integrated rhythm. M&OP shifts planning from a supply chain exercise to a cross-functional decision process to align assortment choices, cost to serve, network constraints and investment decisions. CSCOs can use M&OP to reduce inventory distortion, improve margin and create a predictable and transparent planning environment. Learn practical ways for shifting governance, roles and decision rights to make planning a shared enterprise responsibility.
