Today, at the leading edge of management thinking and practice, Integrated Business Planning (IBP) extends the concepts established by S&OP to all aspects of company planning and execution; from the boardroom to operational levels. IBP can most simply be described as advanced sales and operations planning (S&OP) but integration is what distinguishes IBP from its predecessor and it brings a truly strategic perspective. S&OP was originated by Oliver Wight more than twenty-five years ago and even in its purest form, S&OP has its short-comings in today’s business environment. If S&OP is a process designed for the supply chain to plan the factory (or factories), then IBP is designed for the executive team to plan the entire business - and in a fully integrated way.
Oliver Wight has a 40 year track record of delivering business improvement to some of the world’s best-known organisations. We believe that sustainable improvement can only be made through your own people. So unlike other consultancy firms, we transfer our knowledge to you, which means you can achieve performance levels and financial results that last.
