Why do we need yet another planning system?
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
What is SAP Business Integrated Planning?
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

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
