Main features for us are - amongst others - that IBP supports the planning at multiple aggregation levels (e. g. product, customer, region, channel) and based on that the immediate visibility into forecast changes and its impacts. Also the usage of statistical forecasting capabilities and machine learning algorithms or the improvement of short-term forecasting via demand sensing are key aspects for us to forecast our worldwide markets. For response planning the opportunities provided to enable Order Promising - and to allocate goods to customers based on their importance and profitibility - and especially in constrained environments and situations - helps us tremdendously to keep visibility, to proactively steer our global supply chains and to actively manage bottleneck situations keeping up customer satisfaction for our most important customers.
