Tip from Tom:

Does your Executive S&OP process include a dollar view along with units? Some companies do a reasonably good job with units, but never convert them into dollar views of past performance along with future plans for demand and supply. This means that they’re not getting the full benefits from S&OP.

For most executives, the overarching element in business is financial performance. They’re measured by it; they’re compensated by it; their careers literally live or die by it. Therefore, to establish Executive S&OP as a key tool in the top management tool kit – to make it indispensable to them – imbed the financial view into the process.

Do the basic planning in units and convert to dollars. Saying it another way: to get the biggest bang for the buck, make the “bucks” highly visible.

For more on this, here’s an excerpt from Sales & Operations Planning: The How-To Handbook. You may also want to check principle #6 in Sales & Operations Planning: The Self-Audit Workbook.
