This book provides both a broad overview of the forecasting
process, covering technological and human aspects alike, and deep
insights into algorithms and platform functionalities in the IBP
toolbox required to maximize forecast accuracy. Rich in technical
and business explanations, it addresses short-, medium- and
long-term forecasting processes using functionalities available in
demand planning and demand sensing. There are also several
theoretical concepts underpinning the algorithms discussed; these
are explained with numerical examples to help demystify the IBP
forecasting toolbox. Beyond standard procedures, the book also
discusses custom approaches (e.g. new segmentation criteria, new
outlier detection and correction methods) and new methods (e.g. the
use of Markov chains for forecasting sporadic demands), etc. It
subsequently benchmarks common practices using these innovative
approaches and discusses the results. As measurement is an
important precondition for improvement, an entire chapter is
devoted to discussing process improvement and value using the Six
Sigma methodology. In closing, the book provides several useful
tips and tricks that should come in handy during project
implementation.
This book presents a comprehensive introduction to Integrated
Business Planning (IBP), building on practitioner's experience and
showcasing the value gains when moving from disconnected planning
to IBP. It also proposes a road map for the transformation of
planning, including technological initiatives, business priorities
and organizational processes, and demonstrates how to motivate
different IBP stakeholders to work together, when and how to
connect strategic (to be understood as long term SC&O),
tactical and operational planning and how to leverage functional
and data integration features of SAP IBP. Real-world
business-process use cases help to show the practical implications
of implementing SAP IBP. Furthermore the book explores new
capabilities, talent acquisition and retention, career development
leadership, IBP Center of Expertise. A discussion of how disruptive
technology trends like big data, Internet of Things, machine
learning and artificial intelligence can influence IBP now and in
the near future rounds out the book.

This book provides comprehensive guidance on leveraging SAP IBP
technology to connect strategic (to be understood as long term
SC&O), tactical and operational planning into one coherent
process framework, presenting experience shared by practitioners in
workshops, customer presentations, business, and IT transformation
projects. It offers use cases and a wealth of practical tips to
ensure that readers understand the challenges and advantages of IBP
implementation. The book starts by characterizing disconnected
planning and contrasting this with key elements of a transformation
project approach. It explains the functional foundations and SAP
Hybris, Trade Promotion Planning, Customer Business Planning,
ARIBA, and S/4 integration with SAP IBP. It then presents process
for integrating finance in IBP. Annual planning and monthly
planning are taken as examples of explain Long term planning (in
some companies labeled as strategic). The core of the book is about
sales and operations planning (S&OP) and its process steps,
product demand, supply review, integrated reconciliation and
management business review, illustrating all steps with use cases.
It describes unconstrained and constrained optimized supply
planning, inventory optimization, shelf life planning. We explain
how to improve responsiveness with order-based allocation planning,
sales order confirmation, and big deal / tender management coupled
with simultaneous re-planning of supply. The book closes with a
chapter on performance measurement, measurement of effectiveness,
efficiency, and adherence.
