Integration Planning: Procurement collaborates with cross-functional teams to develop integration plans, ensuring alignment of procurement processes, systems, and strategies to support the merged entity's objectives. 5. Risk Management: Procurement assesses and mitigates risks associated with supplier dependencies, contractual obligations, and supply chain disruptions, safeguarding the continuity of operations post-merger. 6.

How S&OP can support mergers and acquisitions In today's dynamic business environment, Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) and Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE) processes play pivotal roles. These integrated processes ensure companies can effectively plan, execute, and adapt to the changing demands of mergers and acquisitions. Alignment of Strategic Objectives: S&OP helps in aligning the strategic objectives of merging companies. By fostering collaboration between sales, operations, finance, and other key departments, S&OP ensures that everyone is working towards common goals, facilitating a smoother transition. Optimised Resource Utilization: Companies often face challenges related to resource allocation and utilisation after a merger. S&OP provides a framework to optimise the use of resources, from raw materials to production capacity, ensuring that the combined entity operates efficiently. Enhanced Supply Chain Coordination: Mergers can lead to complex supply chain networks. S&OP, and more so S&OE, ensures real-time plan execution, enabling companies to respond to changes and disruptions in a timely manner. This agility is crucial for maintaining service levels and meeting customer expectations. Risk Mitigation: The consolidation process has inherent risks, including integration challenges and market uncertainties. A well-orchestrated and dynamically functioning S&OP process helps identify potential risks early on and devise mitigation strategies, ensuring a more resilient and robust business model. By leveraging S&OP, companies in the pulp, paper, tissue, and packaging industry can also more effectively navigate the complexities of mergers and acquisitions. These processes not only facilitate seamless integration but also pave the way for sustained growth and profitability in a consolidating market. Stay tuned for our next post, in which we will explore an example of the merger and how S&OP can be leveraged to streamline operations and supply chains. #strategicplanning #sop #soe #businesstransformation #operationalexcellence

Effectiveness is a function of cooperation through people and with people 💪 🎯 Would it be a ridiculous idea to explore preliminary (confidential) discussions on how to optimize and/or strengthen the business health of your company through growth or exit strategy?

The consolidation is ongoing. “Europe accounted for the largest number of acquisitions (by target location) in April 2024, with 45.2% of all acquisitions recorded. North America accounted for 32.3% of acquisitions, with 10 acquisitions recorded in April. United States was the most active region in terms of acquisitions (by target location), accounting for 9 acquisitions, or 29% of all acquisitions recorded. In terms of target services, Logistics and Freight Forwarding were the two most popular target services, both accounting for 25.8% of total April acquisitions.” The market is changing, and without strategic alternatives, it will be challenging to compete in this market by relying solely on organic growth, as I have been emphasizing. Moreover, instead of a single universal direction for business actions, it’s necessary to construct multiple scenarios that consider the probable development of the market situation in a specific business area. This includes taking into account the likelihood of sustained higher interest rates and inflation, as well as the potential impact of a reduction in interest rates on our scenarios.
