Deploying Strategy with Integrated Business Planning – The Supply Review

The Supply Review is the third step in the monthly Integrated Business Planning (IBP) process. It is where supply chain articulates its response in a forward-looking, time-phased plan within the context of well-defined tactics and strategies. The Supply Review seeks to provide insight on performance to budget, both past and (most importantly) projected, modeling the impact of tactics within manufacturing, sourcing, distribution, and logistics, including the documentation of assumptions, opportunities, and vulnerabilities around the forward plans, as well as the risks from commodities and FX.
