Effective supply chain planning is essential for manufacturing companies. As support for SAP APO ends, there are no more important updates and the replacement of global systems can take years, there is an acute need for action - both strategically and operationally.

Planning, production and delivery are critical in manufacturing. Because of this importance, all three phases should ideally be coordinated from start to finish. This can be achieved with Synchronized Planning (SAP IBP including MP&S) in conjunction with SAP EWM.

BLG Logistics is strengthening its competitiveness in the automotive logistics sector by digitizing its strategic planning processes with SAP IBP. This equips the company for future challenges. The implementation partner is Consilio.

Customized production up to batch size one, short-term fluctuations in demand, machine or personnel downtime, missing parts: Manufacturing companies must be able to plan their production processes in detail and flexibly at the same time.
