Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP)

Lost a major customer? Lost a market share? Surplus and obsolete inventories?

Do you know this? Gaps in the information and planning process cause unstructured communication between areas of the supply chain. The organization is not provided with the latest planning data in a timely manner, forecast quality drops and business development is impaired in the long term. The solution is SAP IBP, real-time planning in an integrated planning environment.

With SAP IBP, you create transparency about demand, inventories and capacities along your supply chain. The cloud-based APS solution supports you with innovative forecasting methods and planning algorithms for production, distribution and procurement. Targeted inventory optimization ensures delivery readiness across your entire value network. By simulating various planning scenarios, you maintain an overview of the consequences of changes and decision alternatives within the framework of what-if analyses. With an IBP-supported Sales & Operations process, you strike a balance between production utilization, inventory optimization, delivery service levels and profitability. You enable a uniform planning and procurement system in your company without technical islands. We support you with many years of experience in the implementation or optimization of SAP IBP.
