Delos business model recognises 4 major processes in a company :
Demand, including forecast, sales, operational marketing, distribution, outgoing transportation, quotes, biddings, etc.
Innovation, including all major changes, linked to strategy i.e.: new product, new technology, new distribution channel, new supply network, new management process, etc. Includes devoted resources: strategic marketing, research and technology, change management supporting group, task forces…
Supply, including internal and external supply (purchasing), production of quality documents when they are part of the product (pharmacy, A&D, nuclear, …)
Support, including all other functions, i.e.: finance, QA/QC, maintenance, MRO purchasing, HR, legal, …
It also recognises there is a need for prioritisation, a monthly process where all 4 processes are balanced (harmonised, synchronised, adjusted, …) versus: external and internal changes, and gap to the strategy. This answers totally to the Michael Porter strategic equation model. (draw on paperboard)
Strategy is Driving the business towards the vision, this is why vision to strategy is a one way arrow also meaning that vision is a driver for strategy.
Performance Measurement is the most powerful driver for people’s attitude, it sets the objective and recognises progresses. It is also one of management’s rationale for decision making. This is why it must be a unique set binding Business Model.

Demand Planning
Responsibility
The Demand Manager will be responsible for gathering the demand for all items. This will include Service spares demand, Bottles, machines, training requirements. The responsibility for the quality of the forecasts rests with the department that supplies the forecast.
Procedure
The forecast will be collated once a month from each of the areas – Clinical, Service, Sales and Marketing. It will be provided to the Demand Manager on a spreadsheet which will show the forecast in the following units, and spread out over a 24 month horizon. It will be updated weekly in the event demand changes significantly.
Policy
The Forecast will be provided monthly by the first working day of the month. It will be in detail form for each area for 24 months. Thus for bottles is will be by SKU by country and by treatment centre.
Measures
The key measure will be the accuracy of he forecast, which will be measured as the accuracy of the forecast at the cumulative lead time:
Forecast-Actual/Forecast x 100 % for each product family
Software
The MFG Pro Forecasting module will be used to drive the ERP system, but Excel spreadsheets will be used to collate the data by customer and by product for aggregation and upload.
Links
Clinical will provide a forecast for trial quantities of machines and bottles. Service will provide a forecast of spares items. …….
