Response and Supply
Coordinated Response & Supply Planning
To effectively address fluctuating customer demands and promptly respond to short-term network disruptions, organizations requires coordinated response and supply planning.
The emphasis is on tactical, operational, and reactive supply planning processes. In IBP for Response & Supply, these processes are underpinned by high-performance, cost- and rule-based procedures. Depending on the time horizon, they can be either time series-based or order-based.
Tactical supply planning (time series based)
Create infinite and finite production and distribution plans for medium- to long-term planning of your quantities, capacities, costs and sales in IBP for Response & Supply.
We can plan changes and disruptions in the network using capacity expansion, component substitution, automatic product mix adjustment and multi-sourcing.
Operational supply planning (order-based)
Schedule orders for production, purchasing, and stock transfers finite to the day. Planning is based on rule-based sales order and forecast prioritization. Have sales orders confirmed according to your prioritization and planning and transfer this confirmation to your ERP. IBP Response & Supply thus offers you for the first time the possibility to directly link your availability check (ATP) and your supply chain planning. As part of deployment planning, you build on this to create a short-term distribution plan to distribute available receipts to inventory build points.
Reactive response planning (order-based)
Respond flexibly to changes in demand and supply chain by rescheduling your production, distribution, and procurement orders. Have sales order confirmations automatically adjusted to your new situation.
