SAP Integrated Business Planning for Response and Supply

As shown in the figure, SAP IBP for Response and Supply, Time-Series-Based Supply Planning as part of SAP IBP for Response and Supply allows a demand and supply plan creation using following supply planning algorithms:

  • Supply planning heuristic to create an infinite supply plan without shortages in which all demands are fulfilled regardless of available supply.
  • Supply planning finite heuristic to create a priority-based finite supply plan in which demands are fulfilled depending on available supply.
  • Supply propagation heuristic to create an infinite supply plan in which only the available supply is propagated downstream through the supply chain.
  • Shelf life planning heuristic that takes the shelf life of products into account when creating a supply plan (infinite without shortages).
  • Supply planning optimizer to create a finite cost-optimized supply plan.

On the other hand, Order-Based Planning helps you to create a supply plan using operational data and react to short-term changes.

This approach enables supply planning from an operational perspective: It uses detailed data from external systems, and takes into account, for example, planned orders, production orders, sales orders, and purchase orders. Compared to the time-series-based planning functions of SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain (SAP IBP), the order-based approach takes a shorter-term view.

You can use the resulting supply plan, for example, to adapt your stock levels as required, and to quickly respond to changes that might arise at short notice.
