Supply Chain and Integrated Business Planning

Process, people, and information considerations

Our objective in this two-part research advisory is to put into context the process, people, and information implications in achieving an integrated business planning capability. We will address specific implications to end-to-end supply chain and integrated business planning information and decision-making needs including our view of the morphing of supply chain and sales and operations planning needs, and the implications for consideration and adoption of augmented technology support. The second part of this advisory will have special emphasis on business systems technology implementation considerations with a special emphasis for SAP environments.
