WHAT IS INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLANNING (IBP)?
IBP connects strategy, finance, and operations into an integrated planning process: a combination of the S&OP, demand planning and supply planning processes in a single, holistic optimization of supply chain.
IBP is dynamic, adaptive, and is a continuous planning process that improves with time.
