The solution is based on the SAP cloud solution Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP) and places particular emphasis on lean process design with optimal support for individual planning activities. The focus on typical industry requirements makes this solution particularly attractive for companies that want to establish effective support for their sales and operations process quickly and without major implementation efforts.

Optimized, Transparent Planning Processes for More Efficiency

it.S&OP Ready2Run® includes a complete process from sales to production planning. Amongst others, sales planning action sets can be planned, or planning can be automated with the help of forecasting methods. Typical aggregation levels, such as product group and customer group, are also included in this solution as standard.

Comprehensive Reporting

Capacity requirement peaks in production must be identified in good time as well as changes in requirements on the raw material procurement side, sometimes even concerning specific suppliers. This solution offers comprehensive analysis functions and dashboards by which capacity requirements in production or evaluations of raw material or component quantities can be visualized. If necessary, it is possible to give suppliers direct access to the required quantities relating to them via the web.
