Planning processes in life sciences and chemical industry are extremely demanding. While new products, expiring patents and strict regulation primarily affect life sciences, fluctuating customer demand or scarce raw materials are challenges in the chemical industry. In combination with high energy prices and sustainability requirements, this necessitates integrated processes and fast, flexible planning that can also withstand external shocks.

For many companies, the challenges lie in the established planning processes and their underlying systems, that have been developed over many years. This leads to process deviations, media disruptions and inconsistent data models, which in turn leads to increased error susceptibility, laborious manual work and long response times. A lack of monitoring systems to oversee planning processes based on defined key performance indicators does not give employees the opportunity to identify critical processes and respond appropriately.

Overcoming these challenges requires the utilization of modern planning systems such as SAP IBP, which enables integrated and advanced planning through comprehensive analysis options based on consistent end-to-end supply chain networks.
