SAP IBP for Inventory

Satisfied customers and low inventory - it is possible to achieve both!

In which areas should inventory be held and how much, so that delivery readiness levels towards customers are met, uncertainties are taken into account and inventory costs are minimized?

CONSILIO supports you in answering this question for your products and components. As part of an agile implementation, you use the dynamic, statistical approach of IBP for Inventory early on to optimize inventory across your entire supply chain. Uncertainties such as forecast errors, demand fluctuations and procurement uncertainties are taken into account.
