Planning processes in life sciences and chemical industry are extremely demanding. While new products, expiring patents and strict regulation primarily affect life sciences, fluctuating customer demand or scarce raw materials are challenges in the chemical industry. In combination with high energy prices and sustainability requirements, this necessitates integrated processes and fast, flexible planning that can also withstand external shocks.
SSAP IBP offers a cloud-based software solution which enables planning processes to be optimally aligned with rapidly changing markets and customer requirements. It supports all elements of integrated planning, starting with Sales and Operations Planning, Demand Planning, Supply Planning and other modules such as Reports, Dashboards and Supply Chain Control Tower.
Other advanced concepts such as Collaborative Planning, Order Based Planning, Demand Sensing or Demand Driven MRP are also included.
msg industry advisors are your industry specialists when it comes to optimizing and automating your planning processes with SAP IBP. We support you from system selection to system configuration to the sustainable integration of the new processes in your organization. This provides a solid basis for more efficient and flexible planning in your company.
Established planning processes and solutions
For many companies, the challenges lie in the established planning processes and their underlying systems, that have been developed over many years. This leads to process deviations, media disruptions and inconsistent data models, which in turn leads to increased error susceptibility, laborious manual work and long response times. A lack of monitoring systems to oversee planning processes based on defined key performance indicators does not give employees the opportunity to identify critical processes and respond appropriately.
Overcoming these challenges requires the utilization of modern planning systems such as SAP IBP, which enables integrated and advanced planning through comprehensive analysis options based on consistent end-to-end supply chain networks.
