Overall Satisfaction with SAP Integrated Business Planning

I rely on SAP Integrated Business Planning in our distribution set-up to control inventory in several warehouses. The system performs real-time analysis to minimize inventory costs and simultaneously meet all our customer requirements. Replenishment planning is supported because the system shows supply chain limitations and lead times.

Pros

  • By using the multi-echelon inventory optimization feature, we have lowered our total inventory and maintained our service performance.
  • Through SAP Integrated Business Planning, we can test different stocking approaches and see how they affect our key performance measures.
  • Because of the ERP integration, our data is updated in real time, guaranteeing higher accuracy.

Cons

  • The system does not work as smoothly when processing large volumes of data. There are processing delays when we are busy planning.
  • Moreover, because inventory exceptions are not automatically alerted, employees have to check them manually, which takes extra time. Upgrades in these sections could raise our operational efficiency.
  • After bringing in SAP IBP, holding inventory costs and order fulfillment rates have decreased.
  • We achieved better customer satisfaction and less waste due to optimized stock levels and more accurate forecasts.
Even with many useful tools, the system’s interface can be confusing to people just starting out. Making the interface clearer and easier to use would improve the users' experience.
