Scenario planning is moving from an annual exercise to something embedded in daily S&OP processes. Companies used to run it once a year for sensitivity analysis on OPEX and COGS. Now they're scaling it for continuous use in tactical decisions.
is becoming more relevant in the new time. It's not that scenario planning is very new or has come to the industry. We— I think the industry or any organization were doing scenario planning very long back. The important differentiation is scenario planning doing one time in a yearly exercise, or scenario planning doing at a scale, which is the topic of discussion, is that regularly in our day-to-day operation in tactical planning. I think that is something which is changing recently because even when I joined long back, when you should— our yearly annual planning exercise, we used to do scenario planning, do those sensitivity analysis. What is the OPEX impact? What is the net COGS impact? But rarely we did any in our S&OP cycle. We did scenario planning long back or we did any operation, but now things are changing. It is becoming more relevant in the new time. So that is the only thing addition I want to give.
