SAP IBP for Intelligent Planning for Resilience

Using intelligent planning, you can build a supply chain that is resilient to a variety of geopolitical, climatic, biological, economic, and technological disruptions.

By connecting to internal and external risk data, you can identify potential crises at an early stage. Rapid simulation will help to assess the potential impact across every tier of the supply chain. Finally, the entire supply chain can be reconfigured to the best possible alternative to ensure business continuity.

The solution has comprehensive features to help you manage disruptions, minimize value-at-risk, and improve time-to-recovery

• Monitor supplier performance through exception alerts against leading indicators.
• Interactive risk dashboards to track external disruptive events and identify potential risks at an early stage.
• Model risks and disruptive events of varying reach and scale, and configure impact on key supply chain parameters.
• Create multiple scenarios and simulate impact propagation from any risk source across the supply network.
• Formulate optimum response to each disruption scenario using the SAP IBP Optimizer and rapidly reconfigure the supply chain.
• Perform supply chain network stress testing at supplier and tier level.
• Quantify the financial impact of disruptions to understand risk-adjusted impact on lost sales, COGS, and working capital.
• Enable value chain risk simulation by connecting to demand planning, supply planning, capacity planning, and S&OP models.
