In our first webinar, we explore how SAP IBP OBP connects S&OE and S&OP into a single planning environment. Now we go deeper: how does the underlying planning model make this possible – and what does it mean for your business?
Join us for a focused webinar on the SAP IBP OBP Harmonised Planning Area (HPA) and learn how a shared planning foundation across demand, supply, inventory, and execution turns fragmented plans into consistent, end-to-end decisions, with no reconciliation required.
Many organisations have the right tools in place, but still struggle with the handover between the planning horizons, inconsistent data, and complex integrations between processes. The HPA is what makes true harmonisation possible: one unified model that aligns decisions across functions and planning horizons, from mid- to long-term decisions to execution.
Why attend?
Even with SAP IBP OBP in place, organisations often face:
- Separate planning models for demand, inventory, and supply
- Limited transparency from plans to execution
- Slow planning cycles caused by data inconsistencies across models
The HPA removes these barriers by providing a single, integrated planning environment
