  • Configure planning levels, key figures, time profiles, and master data attributes to enable scalable demand planning models.
  • Implement demand planning workflows integrating Sales and Supply Chain teams.
  • Design and handle integrations between demand intake platforms (Anaplan) and SAP IBP Demand Planning, ensuring accurate demand signal capture, automated data flows, and alignment with enterprise demand planning processes.
• Advanced Forecasting, AI, & Analytics:
  • Build statistical forecasting models including seasonal, trend-based, and intermittent demand models.
  • Configure machine learning forecasting algorithms to increase forecast accuracy and improve demand signal analysis.
  • Develop and maintain forecast model selection and parameter optimization strategies.
  • Leverage Generative AI insights via SAP Joule to analyze forecast results and recommend improvements.
  • Develop dashboards and reporting on demand performance analytics.
• Demand Sensing:
  • Configure short-term demand sensing capabilities by using real-time signals such as orders, shipments, and point-of-sale data.
  • Improve near-term forecast accuracy through data-driven adjustments.
• New Product Introduction (NPI) Planning:
  • Configure and support lifecycle planning and new product forecasting by using reference products and attribute-based modeling.
  • Enable seamless transition from product launch to steady-state demand planning.
• Demand Segmentation & Prioritization:
  • Apply ABC/XYZ segmentation models to categorize products based on revenue contribution and demand volatility.
  • Define differentiated planning strategies for various demand segments.
  • Configure demand prioritization rules.
• Scenario Planning & Simulation:
  • Develop what-if scenarios and simulations to analyze impacts of demand fluctuations, promotions, and supply constraints.
  • Support business decision-making with scenario-based planning.
• Data Quality & Forecast Performance:
  • Implement outlier detection, data cleansing, and forecast error monitoring.
  • Track forecast accuracy using metrics such as MAPE, bias, and Added Forecast Value (FVA).
• Integration & Data Flow:
  • Integrate SAP IBP with ERP platforms like SAP S/4HANA and SAP ERP Central Component (ECC).
  • Ensure real-time demand signals and synchronization of master data.
