3. Why do we need yet another planning system?

4. Planning systems
Supply chains must be agile to solve complex
problems in real time:
» Short-term forecast accuracy is a huge
challenge for companies and forecast errors
directly lead to access inventory or stock
outs..
» How do you make sure that the right
inventory is at the right place at the right
time to maintain your customer service
levels?
» Uncertainty about future demand and
supplier reliability increases the complexity
of modern enterprise supply chains.
Current challenges

5. What is SAP Business Integrated Planning?

6. SAP Integrated Business Planning
It consists of five separate applications, each licensed separately:
» Supply Chain Control Tower provides advanced dashboard
capabilities across all applications.
» Sales & Operations Planning is a key component, that
provides core functionality and is used in most projects. It
allows interactive and background planning to be done with all
applications and helps you integrate Demand, Supply,
Inventory and Finance in one application.
» SAP Integrated Business planning was originally named as
SAP “Sales & Operations Planning”, but that was changed
from version 4.0, as additional applications were added and it’s
capability extended.
Is a HANA cloud based planning tool, mainly intended for Supply Chain Management

7. SAP Integrated Business Planning
Capabilities:
» Integrated Business Planning for inventory allows you to optimize service levels by creating
multi-tier inventory targets. The reduction of inventory has a major impact on achieving
profitability goals.
» Integrated Business Planning for demand creates full demand transparency for all products and
timeframes. The application includes predictive analytics capabilities for demand sensing and
statistical forecasting methods to increase forecast accuracy.
» Integrated Business Planning for response and supply can be used as an extension of the sales
and operations planning process. It can show visibility in the supply network across locations and
through levels of the bill of material (BOM). It can provide a constrained demand plan as an
output for further supply processing in another planning system like SAP Advanced Planning and
Optimization (APO) or SAP Enterprise Central Component (ECC).
Currently has three specialized applications in addition to S&OP and SC Control Tower
