IBP for Supply:

SAP Integrated Business planning for response and supply allows quick adaption to changes in demand, considering the full supply chain model as well as simulates plans for production, distribution, and procurement to meet customer needs in a constrained or unconstrained mode. Integrated Business planning for response and supply generates What-If analysis to provide visibility into potential scenarios*.

SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) allows you to create a complete supply plan for your supply chain network using different demand and supply planning algorithms. You can run the algorithms in Excel in simulation or batch mode. The resulting plan provides information on how much of each product should be purchased, produced, or shipped at each location in your supply chain and in which period of the planning horizon. The supply plan also allows you to identify issues in your supply chain, such as insufficient production capacity or stock. You can configure alerts to warn you about such issues. You can then use the functions in Excel to try out different solutions and share scenarios with other team members before coming to a decision about what changes need to be made.
