High-level IBP Components and Services
Our IBP Services
IBP Demonstrations
To aid in your supply chain tool selection, we provide IBP functionality demonstrations free of charge. We can demonstrate the latest IBP functionality remotely or at your facilities via our IBP system.
Supply Chain Process and System Landscape Assessment
We provide supply chain, system landscape and organizational readiness assessments to assist you with your IBP implementation roadmap and to ensure optimal utilization of the implemented IBP system.
Proof of Concept and Pilot Implementation
Our POC services provide peace of mind that the IBP tools will address your supply chain functionality requirements. The POC can be expanded to become a pilot implementation for a business unit, geographical area, product line, etc.
Project Implementation
We provide consulting expertise for all IBP submodules while taking business processes into consideration. We staff projects with the best consultants and monitor the implementation to ensure we continue our 100% success track record.
IBP “FAST”
With our Focused, Accelerated, Scalable Transformation (FAST) implementation tools, we can have you up and running on IBP in just 3 months. This pre-packaged and configured solution can be provided as a fixed cost and scope solution for less complex supply chains.
SAP S/4HANA
We provide the possibility of jointly rolling out IBP with S/4HANA or stagger implementations. We will involve our S/4HANA group to investigate and recommend possibilities.
IBP Components
IBP Sales and Operations Planning
Facilitates your SIOP process by balancing Supply and Demand with consideration of Financial information
IBP Demand
Includes powerful Statistical Forecasting capabilities with Demand Sensing and Exception-Based planning
IBP Inventory
Find the right balance between keeping working capital low while maximizing customer service levels and reducing inventory carrying using Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization. This may also include a strategic “what if analysis” to evaluate the target inventory level under various revenue and service assumptions.
IBP Response and Supply Planning
Use various supply planning algorithms to satisfy demand requirements. An unconstrained heuristic, constrained optimization leveraging penalty costs and capacity restraints. A demand prioritization algorithm can also generate allocation plans, reconfirm sales orders, and create deployment plans while considering the modeled supply chain constraints.
IBP Demand Driven Replenishment (DDMRP)
Reduce Variability and inventory levels throughout your supply chain with Strategically placed Buffers
IBP Control Tower
Real-time, end to end Supply Chain Visibility with pre-defined KPI’s, Dashboards and Alerts
Seamless Integration
with S/4HANA (incl. PPDS, ATP and MRP) as well as Collaboration via Ariba and other 3rd Party Systems
What is SAP IBP?
IBP (Integrated Business Planning) is SAP’s cloud-based solution that enables real-time planning and monitoring of complex supply chains.
SAP Integrated Business Planning
Today’s intricate and often chaotic supply chains demand tools with enhanced capabilities to manage the complexities. SAP’s supply chain solutions comprise all the key tools to support your business.
Capable tools are not all that are needed for successful supply chain planning and monitoring. If the supply chain business processes are not considered, the tools cannot be optimally utilized.
At SCM Innovators, we not only provide elite consultants but we also offer years of supply chain business transformation experience to successfully align software with processes and organizational governance.
We support all the SAP IBP modules (S&OP, Demand, Inventory, DDMRP, Supply & Response and Control Tower) and have the capability to fully integrate these tools with other systems.
