Planning Control Program
Eight questions to test yourself
How many can you answer with confidence?
01
As a leader, do you have real transparency into your planning process - can you predict outcomes, or are you dependent on what people choose to tell you?
02
Your planning system has capabilities your team is not using. Tthe daily structure does not create the space to use them. How much of what you have paid for is sitting idle?
03
When did firefighting become the day job - and when did forward-looking planning stop being realistic?
04
You measure planning performance. But are those KPIs telling you what is driving results, or just what the symptoms look like?
05
Firefighting has a price - premium freight, emergency procurement, unplanned overtime, lost sales. Does your leadership team know what that number is?
06
When a planning decision escalates - is it clear who has the authority to make it, or does it depend on who happens to be available?
07
Is the way your planners work on a given day, week, or month driven by a clear structure - or by whoever is loudest and whatever is most urgent?
08
Your business is getting more complex. Is your execution capability keeping up - or is the gap quietly getting wider?
