Supply chain planning—streamlined
Supply Chain Management | Asia-Pacific
March 30, 2022 – Consumer behaviors and brand loyalty shifted with the arrival of the pandemic, pushing the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry to pursue better supply chain planning methods, such as automated digital systems. Yet 80 percent of CPG manufacturers in Asia still rely on traditional sales and operations planning (S&OP), according to results of a recent McKinsey survey.

Visual form
Segmented maturity-share bar chart.
Layout / body structure
The chart is one horizontal bar split into five adjacent stages, with the percentages printed inside the segments and the stage names explained directly underneath. Reader moves left to right across the bar, then drops down to the labels to connect each percentage block to its planning model.
What is being compared
The chart compares the share of consumer packaged goods manufacturers in Asia across five supply-chain planning models: no formal S&OP cycle, traditional S&OP cycle, collaborative S&OP process cycle, continuous S&OP, and autonomous planning. It is a maturity-distribution comparison rather than a time series.
Measurement system
The segments represent percent shares of respondents, so the full bar sums to the whole surveyed population. Each stage is labeled with its exact percentage, letting the reader compare both the rank order of planning models and the size gap between legacy and advanced approaches.
Visible structure inside the graphic
A long dark segment dominates the center-left of the bar, and progressively smaller segments continue to the right toward the advanced planning stages. The labels beneath the bar act like a maturity ladder, moving from silo-level meetings and stepwise planning on the left to real-time optimization and fully automated digital systems on the far right.
Main takeaway from the visual
Most companies are still concentrated in the older planning stages, with traditional S&OP occupying the biggest part of the bar and the autonomous-planning segment remaining very small. The visual makes the maturity gap obvious by packing the left and middle stages with most of the share and leaving only a thin slice for the most advanced model.
Key standout values or extremes
Traditional S&OP is the largest segment at 56 percent, followed by collaborative S&OP at 21 percent. Continuous S&OP accounts for 12 percent, autonomous planning is just 7 percent, and only 4 percent sit in the no-formal-S&OP category, so the rightmost advanced stage is the smallest meaningful share on the page.
