Our Client
A fast-growing pharmaceutical start-up developing and launching a cutting-edge genetic treatment for prostate cancer. With increasing market readiness requirements and rising operational complexity, the company sought a digital DSI solution to support Executive S&OP performance and enable data-driven decision-making.
The Challenge
To support commercialization, the client needed an integrated and dynamic S&OP backbone capable of:
- Real-time DSI visibility based on the latest Demand and Supply submissions
- Zero manual data entry, eliminating delays and inconsistencies
- Simulation capabilities for both demand and supply variations during Executive S&OP
- A single repository of data for current and future planning needs
The absence of such capabilities risked slowing decision-making at a critical stage of market launch readiness.
Real Results Achieved Together
The digital Dynamic DSI solution fundamentally reshaped how the organization prepared and ran Executive S&OP.
- 0 workdays lost to manual S&OP data preparation
- Real-time DSI availability for planning decisions
- Full focus on data analysis instead of deck creation
Transformation Impact
Real-time DSI solution deployed with no manual preparation required
Simulations executed during Executive S&OP, enabling scenario-driven discussions
Improved decision-making quality and agility at leadership level
Supply Chain Planning team now dedicated to analyzing trends—not building decks
Our Approach
EFESO deployed a structured and human-centric methodology to ensure adoption, utilization, and organizational alignment:
• Voice of Business definition: Stakeholder interviews to finalize a detailed User Requirement Document (URD)
• Process mapping: Identification of process parameters and variation points across Demand, Supply, and Inventory
• Digital solution selection: Chosen based on client needs, usability expectations, and future scalability
• Implementation support: Activated the solution while managing Processes and Human Dynamics for seamless adoption
• Capability enablement: Ensured teams could run simulations and navigate the Executive S&OP autonomously
This approach delivered not only a tool—but a behavioral shift in how planning teams collaborate and decide.
