Are global companies using S&OP across multiple sites involved in one S&OP family?
In some global situations, each region or division has its own families, which are then rolled into common global families. In other cases where the same products are sold across multiple regions or manufactured at multiple manufacturing sites, each of their totals are individually included in family plans that cover more than one region or plant. Separate regional families are used, when performance is monitored and decision-making can be done independently in a region or location, separate from global decision-making.
