Integrated Business Planning

For integrating functional plans, deploying business strategy and driving business management

Led by your executive team, Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is a common sense process designed for effective decision-making. It allows senior management to plan and manage your entire organization over a 24-month horizon or more, aligning strategic and tactical plans each month, and allocating critical resources, people, equipment, inventory, materials, time and money; to satisfy your customers in the most profitable way.

IBP represents the evolution of Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) from the supply and demand balancing process developed in the early 1980s. Today, it is a process that drives the alignment of all functions across an organization, models and creates readiness for alternate outcomes, drives deployment of strategy and enhances collaboration across supply chains.
