Introduction to IBP for Response and
Supply

 What is Response Management?

 What are Key Planning Scenarios?

 How does it looks like?

 What is Response Management?

Generate a short to mid-term supply plan based on prioritized and categorized

demand such as orders and forecasts
• Fast, rules-based, priority-driven solution for supply planning, allocations planning, and order
rescheduling
• Focused on supporting what-if analysis, and root cause analysis of actual or hypothetical changes to
demand and/or supply
• Generate and provide
allocations to ATP for online
confirmations of sales
orders
• Order-based /demand-
based
• Heuristic or Finite (priority
rules-driven) planning
What are Key Planning Scenarios?

Two main processes supported:

 Supply & Allocations Planning: Create allocations and a supply plan based
on prioritized forecast demands and supply chain constraints
 Response Planning: Create order confirmations and an adopted supply
plan based on prioritized demands, allocations and supply chain
constraints

Both processes work on tightly integrated information from ERP and allow for
root-cause analysis and simulation of full and delta plans
