Unit 1 Lesson 1

Describing SAP Integrated Business Planning

LESSON OVERVIEWThis lesson describes supply chain trends and challenges, and provides an overview of SAP Integrated Business Planning.

LESSON OBJECTIVESAfter completing this lesson, you will be able to:



Supply Chain Trends

Volatile markets and growing logistical complexity are major trends in the market.

Volatile Markets

The following factors lead to increased volatility, but at the same time they represent extensive growth opportunities for businesses.

• Market power is with the end consumer.

The financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 changed the market significantly with a shift ofmarket power to the end consumer.

• The Millennial generation asks for individualized products.

The Millennial generation is connected, and wants individualized products and servicesthat are delivered immediately.

• Emerging middle class in emerging markets.

An emerging middle class that is growing to 5 billion people is resulting in a globalrebalancing across the world.

Today's end consumers research and purchase products in real-time, and expect them to be delivered quickly.

Growing Logistical Complexity

Growing logistical complexity is a result of volatile markets. Constant changes require flexibility in distribution networks. At the same time, companies are introducing speedy replenishment services as a strategic differentiator compared to their competition.

The following are examples of replenishment services:

• An automotive service parts wholesaler guarantees their dealers and end-customers a 30minute replenishment cycle.

• Amazon has introduced a new distribution center strategy, which allows it to deliverproducts ordered on its Web site within 2 hours (in California).

• Retailers such as Walmart have introduced processes to deliver directly from the closeststore to their customers, when orders are placed on-line. This requires excellentreplenishment processes between the distribution centers to avoid running out of stock.

Businesses are transforming their supply chains into demand networks, with the focus on the customer's demand and the partners that are involved in fulfilling the demand.

Supply Chain Challenges

Supply chains must be agile to solve complex problems in real time. Planning models are often slow and abstract, and are disconnected from execution systems. The disconnect between planning and execution results in a break in the closed loop process.

The following are some of the complex issues faced by supply chain professionals:

• Gathering the information that they need to make decisions

According to an Aberdeen study, only 20% of supply chain professionals have theinformation they need within a day. Eighty percent say that they either do not have theinformation, or that the information is not available on time. Most decisions are madewithout any support from supply chain management solutions, but based on experienceand intuition of supply chain professionals. Furthermore, the decision-making process isslow and often based on outdated information, which introduces sources of error into theplanning process. Reaction time to major events is also compromised, often drivingorganizations to panic, resulting in error.

• Improving planning results

Short-term forecast accuracy is a huge challenge for companies and forecast errorsdirectly lead to access inventory or stock outs. Traditional forecasting algorithms arechallenged because, while are they are good for mid-term results, they are not accurate forthe short term.

• Aligning operations with planning

How do you make sure that the right inventory is at the right place at the right time tomaintain your customer service levels? Uncertainty about future demand and supplierreliability increases the complexity of modern enterprise supply chains.

To solve these complex issues, businesses must transform their supply chains into demand networks.

Sales and operations planning is too abstract and infrequent

Supply planning cannot react to end-customer demand

V________________ )

Variability of supply chain is ignored by models

Forecasting misses short term demand

j Figure 1: Supply Chain Challenges

Competitive Advantage

Companies can meet the challenges of complexity and volatility, and gain a competitive advantage.

To differentiate your services, you can do the following:

• Be agile and benefit from changes in demand

• Be responsive to customer expectations

• Capitalize on trends with new products

• Have end-to-end visibility and monitoring

• Enter new markets and capture new customers

• Maintain high customer loyalty

Businesses cannot avoid surprises, but the ability to react quickly and accurately is the true measure of the organization's competitive advantage.

SAP Integrated Business Planning Solution

Integrated business planning is the process of addressing market challenges, risks, and opportunities.

Balancing demand and supply typically comes to mind for integrated business planning. However, integrated business planning extends across the supply chain, integrating demand and supply planning with financial planning, and linking a strategic plan with operational execution.

A system rich in planning functionality is underserved if the plan cannot be executed. The figure, SAP Integrated Business Planning Solution, shows where the SAP Integrated Business Planning solution fits in the overall business landscape. SAP Integrated Business Planning connects strategy with execution.
