Answer to Question 1

One of the similarities between the CPFR and S&OP processes is both are structured to arrive at a consensus forecast for the same products during the same time period. In addition sharing of data is critical in both processes and both processes are a continuous closed-loop process that uses feedback as input. Another similarity is both processes have a supply and demand phase, however one of the differences between the two processes is S&OP has a separate phase for supply and a separate phase for demand, whereas CPFR has supply and demand in one phase. Another one of the differences is the S&OP process describes how organizations structure their planning process to arrive at a consensus forecast internally, whereas CPFR describes how a consensus forecast is created externally
