Dear Friends, I have many questions: 1/ IBP= S&OP + Financial Plan, right? 2/ The finance department creates a financial plan to reconcile what important information (KPIs) with the demand plan and supply plan ?, example: gross profit and net profit. 3/ In what cases, the demand plan must be adjusted according to the financial plan or supply plan ?. 4/ Inventory policy is agreed and set up by the sale + finance departments?
Hi. 1) Please read - S&OP Vs IBP - What is the Difference? - www.scmdojo.com/sop-vs-ibp/ 2) If you run S&OP correctly you should be able to reconcile all these KPI 3) Financial Plan should be adjusted based on Demand Plan and Supply Plan, not other way around! 4) Supply Chain own Inventory Plan, in alignment with finance team. Hope this helps. Regards, Muddassir from SCMDOJO
