Spinnaker provides an overview of integrated business planning (IBP) from both a process and technology perspective. They discuss typical performance gaps companies experience with demand and supply planning and the root causes. Spinnaker's framework separates IBP into demand, supply, and IBP processes with activities assigned to each. They also review SAP's IBP suite and how it can help achieve advanced IBP capabilities through applications for sales and operations planning, demand planning, supply planning and inventory planning. Spinnaker outlines critical foundations needed for successful IBP implementation including executive support, data quality, and change management.

Integrated Business Planning (IBP) –
One Acronym,Two Definitions
Process-Focused Definition:
IBP is typically used to refer to highly mature (Stage 3-4) Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)
processes.At this point companies effectively synchronize the overall company and extended
planning process intended to align financial, supply chain, and go-to-market business decisions.
SAP’s Software Definition:
SAP Integrated Business Planning is a suite of planning applications focused on S&OP, Demand,
Supply, and Inventory Planning that provides essential technology support for achieving advanced
IBP capabilities.

Customer service levels are unacceptable – deliveries take too long or are incomplete,
promise dates constantly slip, and information is inaccurate
Sales falling short of plan, with repeated cycles of finger pointing over who’s responsible
for the gap and lots of wasted effort on fire drills
Mismatch of supply and demand cause shortages of some products while others are
“pushed” at quarter end to make the number
Sales, Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain functions seem to be operating to different
numbers “We spend a lot of time reconciling different views of what ‘demand’ will be”
New product rollouts never seem to be able to launch and ramp with predictability
We keep creating excess / obsolete inventory across the network while simultaneously
experiencing shortages
“Our Excel-based process won’t scale, doesn’t align with real world demand or supply,
and doesn’t allow us to evaluate alternatives”
Typical Business Performance Gaps
Driving S&OP/IBP Implementations
7. Spinnaker Proprietary & Confidential 2014
All Rights Reserved 66
Understanding the Root Causes
of Performance Gaps
Lack of accurate sales input to demand and supply planning
Poor recognition of marketing intelligence and sales
Missed sales opportunities
Excess inventory required to cover lack of visibility
(volatility) to near-term demand
Poor service and “whipsaw” responses to shortages
“Blanket” or “rule of thumb” inventory levels leave many
items with excesses or shortages
Simultaneous service issues and excess inventory
Excel falls short of S&OP process requirements
Existing planning tools aren’t designed for flexible scenario
analysis
Performance Gaps
Ineffective collaboration processes and tools lead to
consistent capture of actionable sales intelligence and
disorganized demand planning & consensus
Highly manual and disconnected planning processes
(e.g., financial targets not aligned with supply chain)
Poor policy alignment across inventory goals, financial
objectives, and customer service targets
“Top-down” forecast mandates with consequent
amplification of error vs. true demand
Lack of analytical capabilities supporting the demand
planning process
Lack of analysis and reporting tools to support the
business requirements
Lack of training and resources to effectively maintain
models and data
Root Cause
Low forecast accuracy at multiple levels
Lack of confidence in forecast by supply planners leads to
discounting / ignoring of forecasts in favor of history

Successful adoption of IBP needs
discipline, simplicity and persistence
Measure: You need metrics of
both IBP adoption success and
metrics of supply chain
performance which frame the
decision making in IBP.
High quality team members:
Ensure project resources are the
best in their area, can perform as
change agents, help build
consensus, collaborate and are
prepared to lead new processes.
“Mastery” of master data:
Decision-support tools rely on
ERP/ transaction systems for data.
Don’t ignore, underestimate, or
fail to address gaps in the quality,
completeness, and governance of
your data assets.
Do what drives value: Guard
against “over-engineering” both
process and technology.The IBP
process is meant to be agile, not
bureaucratic. IBP tools need to evolve
at the pace of demonstrated utility
and applicability.
Tailored to essentials:Implement
S&OP/IBP so it addresses your
company’s key decision horizons and
frequency – not the textbook’s.
Build on the basics: IBP
complements core demand and
supply planning processes, it does not
replace them. Be sure that what
you’re pushing into IBP isn’t a
response to gaps in other core
processes.
Executive support:
Organizations often struggle with
new processes, requirements and
accountabilities—senior
management must visibly
champion the effort and reinforce
expectations.
No Big Bang: S&OP/IBP success
is an extended journey and you
need to understand your goals and
ensure they fit to your point in
that journey.
Come back from setbacks: IBP
disrupts many legacy assumptions,
agendas, and turf. Resistance is a
given.Work the obstacles and
opposers relentlessly.You have
right on your side.
Discipline Simplicity Persistence

This approach has several shortcomings including:

– Lack of what-if scenario capabilities
– Limited collaboration capabilities
To overcome these challenges, companies seeking to

SAP’s IBP Supply Chain ControlTower provides
end-to-end view of the supply chain with near real
time information and decision making analytics that
have drill down capabilities, custom scorecards and
dashboards with flexible exception management.
SAP’s IBP S&OP has the ability to match demand
and supply plans to financial objectives, profit
optimization and cost minimization by leveraging
scenarios and scenario comparison.
SAP’s IBP Supply is an extension to IBP S&OP that
develops a time phased constrained or unconstrained
multi level production plan using heuristics or
optimization with what If and scenario planning
capabilities.
SAP’s IBP Inventory application uses scenario and
what if analysis coupled with an advanced approach to
determine the ideal time phased inventory strategies
for FG, SFG and Raw materials and provide a network
wide view of inventory levels.
