Integrating Finance into your IBP/S&OP process

Both Sales and Operational Planning (S&OP) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) can play a major role in connecting supply chain planning and the office of finance. 

Ultimately, supply chain planning directly impacts a company’s annual report, and it can be damaging if there is no clear insight from supply chain through to finance. There’s a delicate balance between demand and inventory supply, too much inventory and a company will have to write it off… not enough inventory, and a company cannot meet demand. And these are just two examples of many scenarios. Thus, the importance of a finance-forward approach to supply chain planning.
