Integrated business planning (IBP) is a comprehensive form of business planning that takes the components of sales and operation planning (S&OP) and then applies them throughout the enterprise’s entire supply chain. With effective IBP, a company can seamlessly align its resources, from people to inventory, and its time and money, to provide customers what they need when they need it.
To successfully create an integrated business plan, an enterprise needs high visibility into its operations, including the entire supply chain, in real-time. Strong alignment and integration must exist between supply and demand; local, regional, national, and global teams; customers and suppliers; and so forth.
Choosing the right technology is crucial for IBP—so contact ArganoCSS consultants today.
