Supply chain volatility keeps increasing, making regular matching of planning and execution ever more important Mega trends impacting SC Increasing demand and supply volatility Margin pressure Ever shorter product lifecycles Increasing product complexity Longer lead times to supply Increasing distribution network complexity Channel convergence Compliance, green Outsourcing? Internal business challenges High inventories of slow movers Stock outs on fast movers NPI delays Obsolescence Low service levels Functional silos remain Strategic objectives not being reached Page 4
Uneven management attention also leads to a vertical disconnection between financial and operating plans Strategic planning Planning horizon Business planning Disconnect! Master planning Detailed scheduling and execution Level of detail Imposing revenue goals on mid-term planning without an appropriate decision-making process in-between will most often lead to infeasible operating plans.

Imagine a company competing in a rowing race yet the strokes are not synchronized Manufacturing: Sales are highly overstated, we will figure out what to decrease Marketing: There s a new promotion we need to do next week. Supply Planning We will need to rapidly expand our manufacturing capacity to achieve the plan Demand Planning: Our high forecast accuracy error is not my fault I just enter what sales tells me Customer Finance: Working capital is too high, we need to reduce inventory by 20% Sales: I will place multiple orders to make sure my customer does not get shorted. Logistics and Distribution: We will require excessive overtime and airfreight to accomplish what is being asked of us New Product Development: I can guarantee that this new product will fly off out of the warehouse once it is available Page 6

Industry Definitions Sales and Operations Planning has evolved to become Integrated Business Planning. It is a truly cross-functional, multi-dimensional process that includes all elements of demand, supply and financial analysis in relation to the business goals and strategy. - Aberdeen Group The broader strategic mandate for S&OP is key to superior returns. S&OP leaders are aggressively converting S&OP from an operations level demand-and-supply balancing process to the mechanism of choice for integrated business planning and strategy deployment. - AMR Research Page 10
What is IBP Customer collaboration The process that links sales and operations efforts to financial objectives One number lies at the heart of the business Demand Supply NPD Demand portfolio Supplier collaboration Financial (BPM) Finance The three business functions are inter-dependent, to deliver the strategy we must ensure our processes are truly integrated to achieve the One Number Page 11
IBP framework Customer collaboration Demand plan adjustments Demand requirements Supply and capacity plan Supply requirements Supplier collaboration Strategy Strategic direction Intelligence Demand planning MBR Supply planning NPI management Sales/account planning Integration Reconciliation Materials planning Production planning Promotions management Forecasting Demand Supply Transport planning Inventory planning Budget Finance Amendments to budget Page 12
A good process creates accountability and focuses on results, calls for action and provides metrics What it is NOT Only two more meetings per month Only corporate based A decision of the same problem over and over again What it is A continuous process Multi-functional with the participation of top management Focused on performance Only resolving today s problems or the operations of the next months (short term approach) Focus on planning the next 12-18 months Focused on SKU level daily execution It disappears after a few months Focused on the alignment of strategic planning and execution at product family/group level A continuous improvement process The process is a forum for the evaluation of problems, decision making and taking action Page 13
How IBP has been evolving What is the difference between S&OP and IBP? Greater financial integration Inclusion of strategic initiatives and activities Improved simulation and modelling Easier translation between detail and aggregate Improved decision-making S&OP (Sales Operations Planning) SIOP (Sales Inventory and Operations Planning) IBP (Integrated Business Planning) Improved trust within the management team Reference: Oliver Wight (http://www.oliverwight-eame.com/en-gb/integrated-business-planning/transition-from-sop) Page 14
Key objectives of IBP Visibility Support for decision making Tracking of execution Value Chain Management and information processing: Demand Forecast Sales Planning Operations Planning Analysis of fulfillment alternatives considering: Business stragegy Resources and constraints Financial results Fulfillment scenarios preparation for decision making support S&OP meetings with attendance of all operations involved functional areas Monitoring of execution adherence in relation to plans Value Chain performance analysis (KPIs) Page 15
IBP is critical to operationalize your business strategy and plan in a collaborative manner IBP Before Dark Line After Yellow Line Demand Signal Volatility Value Chain Page 16
Key benefits Non-financial Page 17 Decision making process consolidation in relation to tactical operations planning Better understanding and visibility of operations and among functional areas and their interfaces Better communication among functional areas Learning for people related to tactical and operational management Better information quality for decision making Better integration of business core process such as new products introduction, inventory management, distribution and other Value chain management process formalization Better roles and responsibilities alignment among people related to operations Better customer orders fulfillment

1. Portfolio management review This first step is all about evaluating the product portfolio. Is the portfolio in line with the strategic objective? Are new products in development? Any significant delays in our new product introduction plans Which marketing campaigns are lined up? Is the NPI pipeline sufficient to reach out strategic objectives Which products can be phased out Goal of the portfolio review meeting is to collect all relevant product information that might positively or negatively impact mid term demand.

Organization typically consists of at least 2 leaders and 2 analysts Demand Analyst IBP Organizational Structure IBP Champion IBP Manager Supply Analyst Description Management level, who conducts the demand planning meetings, reviews the supply chain, Integration Reconciliation and MBR. Co-leader of the sessions and ensures that all the information is obtained by the demand and supply analysts. Responsible for gathering the information necessary for each of the meetings and follow up on issues and resolutions arising from the meetings Page 35
Decision making steps Issue review and resolution tactics used in developing, communicating and reviewing supply and demand alternatives with associated risks and business impacts, as well as the capture and recording of decisions made Action planning tactics used in deciding who is going to do what and by when and in what order in accordance with the decisions resulting from issue review and resolution What are the common challenges related to Governance and Decision Making?

Critical success factors, all components are important People Periodic meetings with a clear ownership and a structured Meeting Agenda Cross functional participation leading to a consensus overall plan (one number truth) Clear Roles and Responsibilities for the Process. Have a motivated team The S&OP process facilitates cross functional learning Process Rolling horizon 12 24 m Good preparation upfront: Demand Review: Unconstrained plan incl. future demand impact like promos and new product introductions. Supply Review: plan incl. all future supply capacity and limitations like downtimes Systems Performance Proper tools for demand planning and supply planning, what-if scenarios, etc. Planning and transactional data in one robust reporting system For globally operating companies: must support fast consolidation and disaggregation of global demand and supply master data (also across multiple ERP instances in many cases) Define a balanced set of performance indicators, allowing to closely follow the execution of the business and Supply Chain strategies Regular monitoring and revision Measurement of performance against the plan and remember IBP is all about trade offs. Decide together on what is best for business! Page 38

Future state design principles are leading practices that drive improvements in operations EY perspective on today s client realities... Increasingly demanding consumers and customers High supply chain volatility Shortened product life-cycles Inability to forecast accurately Excessive inventory (high turns) Build-up of slow-moving and obsolete inventory Poor customer service, high level of back-orders Multiple, uncoordinated plans Financial Operational Inventory Lack of common metrics (balanced scorecard) Lack of common metrics (e.g., balanced scorecard) The future state will rely on... Collaborative, cross functional, monthly process Incorporates internal and external inputs Single, consensus operating plan Clearly defined forecasting process and tools Use of statistical forecasting Incorporation of demand exceptions Use of forecast accuracy measures Balancing of critical resources People Capacity Working capital Ability to prioritize opportunities Focus on data-driven, proactive behavior Common metrics with use of consistent processes and tools Aligned goals and incentives across the organization Forward-looking, three-to-24 months out Not focused on fighting today s fires Page 41 A new approach using the IBP framework and principles will improve operational performance
The future state design leverages elements of leading programs IBP programs adopted by leading companies Counsel based programs led by full time IB&OP leader High degree of executive involvement Fully integrates demand & supply planning, replenishment processing, financial planning (revenue, margin, variable costs), marketing (pricing & promotions), strategic planning, budgetary processes and R&D Product lifecycle management (NPD/EOL) activities are an integral component of the IB&OP process Focus is a 12 month planning horizon (high growth business, alignment with traditional S&OP cycles) plus an executive component that will focus on a long range plan three to five years out Technology advancements have led to an increase in data usage to support the planning process Recent push for CPFR (collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment) programs with external trading partners Elements of leading IBP programs Leading companies have implemented IBP as a strategic imperative to manage their business operations and to help shape their longer term strategic direction Monthly cycles setup for planning with clear visibility of all variables Multi-level statistical forecasting. Supports seasonality and external conditions Forecast accuracy is measured at all levels Trade promotions planning tightly coupled with supply planning KPI driven processes Bottoms up planning approach Planning processes aligned with strategic working capital management Program that is easily scalable to support geographic and product portfolio expansion IB&OP technology is fully integrated with existing ERP systems Single source of truth one holistic operating plan Page 42
Our experience shows that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Teaching clients to walk before they can run IBP Limited integration between departments and cross company measurements Increased visibility across the end to end S&OP process Formal, robust fully integrated formal process with KPI management Business is focused on one number Demand Management Limited demand forecasting processes, no statistical modeling, Statistical modeling used for forecasting Sales & marketing input incorporated at regular points Full visibility to forecast and demand across the supply chain Supply Management Short term focused Limited visibility to future capacity needs Greater demand visibility and discussion of product development and promotional activity Full collaboration across functional areas Full visibility to demand product development and promotional activity Financial Integration Supply chain staff have a limited understanding of the distinctions between operational and financial projections Limited or inconsistent visibility into forecast assumptions and drivers Supply chain staff understand operational and financial projections and can quickly identify differences gaps and their potential impacts The definition of best in class varies by industry.. Many companies today A more competitive position Best in Class Page 43
