How to Solve Supply Chain Challenges with SAP IBP 

Supply chain management in life sciences is critical, as the dynamic and volatile nature of the industry does not leave any room for error. Poor supply chain planning can make it difficult to meet expectations for patient safety, compliance, end-to-end transparency, and resilience. However, life sciences companies may also encounter complex challenges with supply chain management that inhibit the ability to meet these requirements and demands, hindering research and development (R&D) efforts and harming overall profits. One way to combat these challenges is with SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP). In this article, we explore how your organization can solve supply chain challenges with SAP IBP.
