Integrating planning processes for smart Supply Chain Planning

Often, companies have little visibility into the operations of their entire supply chain and struggle with inconsistent planning processes. To overcome major challenges like these and to meet rising customer expectations, companies have to link all the processes and manage them holistically.
The solution is to implement, manage and control effective Supply Chain Management with system support.

What is Supply Chain Planning (SCP)?

SAP SCM, a Supply Chain Management system, is split into three modules: Planning, Execution and Coordination. Supply Chain Planning (“SCP”) is therefore a component of Supply Chain Management (“SCM”). Supply Chain Management (SCM) is generally used to integrate all your business activities – from sales and material requirements planning, to production planning and shipping to customers – into a single seamless process.

For more information and definitions, please refer to Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) with ORBIS. To learn more about the topic of Supply Chain Execution, see SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) – SAP’s strategic warehouse solution under SAP ERP / S/4HANA.

Digital Supply Chain Planning involves forecasting future demand, with the aim of reconciling supply and demand. In this context, the supply chain process takes into account the precise product planning procedure throughout the entire value chain up to the customer. This includes various processes such as supply, demand, production, distribution and sales planning.
