S&OP helps align demand and supply by keeping everyone informed about inventory, production capacity, and expected sales 2. Cross-Functional Involvement: It brings together different teams (Sales, Marketing, Finance and Operations) to collaborate on medium-term supply-chain planning. 3. No Surprises: S&OP minimizes unexpected issues like backorders, unhappy customers, and late deliveries by providing a clear plan. 4. One Set of Numbers: It ensures consistency by creating a single set of numbers for planning purposes. 5.

Independent pharmacists face many challenges in today's healthcare landscape. And while these challenges can be daunting, that doesn't mean pharmacy leaders can't get past them. What's important is forming proactive approaches to face today's pharma challenges. One challenge that we all face is the presence and practices of PBMs. This has been a challenge in our industry for years and has unfortunately led to many pharmacy closures over the years. However, there are ways we can be strategic about our approach to PBMs. I would personally recommend engaging in advocacy efforts to address PBM pricing power. By joining forces with industry associations and policymakers, we can push for reforms that ensure fair and transparent drug pricing, ultimately benefiting our patients. What are some proactive strategies you think can help independent pharmacy owners navigate today's challenges? #PBMReform #IndependentPharmacy #PBMPricing
