Methodology

A complete framework, deployed in phases

Twenty volumes that build, integrate and project the planning capability of the agro-industrial company. This page presents its structure; the methodological development is shared in an executive session under confidentiality.

Architecture

Five decision layers

Each layer has its own objective, owner and horizon; all of them answer to the same approved plan.

01
Strategic Planning

Sets the direction of the business: growth, capacity, portfolio and strategic scenarios.

12 – 18 months
02
Integrated Business Planning

Builds the single business plan: how much is sold, made, bought, stocked and financed.

12 rolling months
03
Tactical Planning

Converts the approved plan into a feasible industrial programme.

13 weeks
04
Operational Execution

Delivers on the commitment: orders, purchasing, production, quality and shipping.

1 – 14 days
05
Control Tower

Detects deviations and triggers responses before they hit service levels or margin.

Real time
Governance

Planning does not fail for lack of data

It fails because organisations have no clear system for turning data into decisions. The governance model defines who decides, in which forum, with what information and how often.

Monthly rhythm

A stable decision calendar, not emergency meetings.

Clear ownership

Every process and indicator has an identified owner.

Decisions on record

What is agreed is documented, with follow-up on delivery.

Single source

One official source per critical data point; no parallel versions.

COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING PROCUREMENT FINANCE Four functions, four plans, one single operation
Maturity model

From daily firefighting to the predictive enterprise

The assessment evaluates the organisation across multiple dimensions —strategy and governance, commercial, manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, finance, data and artificial intelligence— and places it at one of six levels.

Level 1
Reactive Enterprise
The operation is governed by urgencies.
Level 2
Controlled Enterprise
The operation is under control, but each function works on its own.
Level 3
Planned Enterprise
Integrated planning and a monthly rhythm appear.
Level 4
Integrated Enterprise
A single business plan with Finance inside the decision.
Level 5
Intelligent Enterprise
Artificial intelligence strengthens and anticipates decisions.
Level 6
Autonomous Enterprise
Assisted, supervised planning with permanent simulation.

Each level adds new capabilities without replacing the previous ones. The evolution is cumulative: you do not skip a level, you build on the one before.

Roadmap

Five phases, eighteen months

Each phase produces verifiable deliverables and capabilities that stay with the organisation. The main success factor is not technological: it is sustained executive sponsorship.

The full methodological development —models, matrices, algorithms and proprietary parameters— is presented in an executive session and under a confidentiality agreement.

Month 0 – 3
Assessment & Foundation

Maturity assessment, programme governance, indicator baseline and data diagnosis.

2
Month 3 – 6
IBP Integration

Installing the integrated planning capability and the monthly executive cycle.

3
Month 6 – 12
Operational Excellence

Industrial optimisation, inventory policy, sourcing and distribution network.

Month 15 – 18
Predictive Enterprise

End-to-end visibility, full scenario simulation and continuous improvement of the model.
