Supply Chain Planning Defined
Supply chain planning (SCP) is a forward-looking process. It is coordinating assets to optimize the delivery of goods, services, and information from suppliers to consumers. Organizations can leverage solutions to help navigate the complexities of planning and orchestrating supply chain operations flawlessly. SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is powered by SAP S/4HANA memory and is a cloud-based planning software for supply chain management. IBP is a process for aligning a company’s business goals across operational functional areas.
Key integration elements are:
- Supply and demand
- Finance and Operations
- Functions and business processes
- Strategy outcomes
- Non-financial measures
- Cash flow, costs, and revenues.
A structured process that comes from an IBP approach enables companies to make better informed and fact-based decisions. It provides planning, what-if scenario capabilities, and real-time demand commitments, considering constraints. Increased visibility enables companies to incorporate insights from supply chain projections, financial projects, and strategic plans. There are unmatched benefits of IBP for SAP Supply Chain Planning, like optimization of logistics, improved cross-functional collaboration, planning agility, risk mitigation, and improved forecast accuracy.
SAP Supply Chain Planning yields several benefits:
- Decreased costs
- Increased profits
- Reduction in delays
- Improved efficiency
- Increase in output
- Better cooperation.
