With SAP S/4HANA as the digital core, customers can build a foundation for extended supply chain visibility and speed. SAP S/4HANA Supply Chain and SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing allow companies to gain visibility into real-time market conditions and production efforts, and then react to that information with the speed required to deliver products that customers want with the efficiency they need. Any supply or demand change, such as a promotion that generates higher-than-forecasted demand or disruption in supply due to a late delivery, can be quickly propagated up and down the supply chain to detect imbalances as well as simulate alternate scenarios. SAP S/4HANA can be integrated with the SAP Integrated Business Planning solution, enabling advanced planning and response across strategic, tactical, and operational time horizons.
