AB InBev Standardizes Supply Planning on SAP
AB InBev, a consumer staples organization in Belgium, uses SAP BTP from SAP to support plan to produce for planners and plant leads.
When supply and production planning outgrew homegrown tracking, AB InBev brought in SAP.
“AB InBev is based in Belgium and runs consumer staples operations at a scale where supply and production planning cannot live in side channels.”
“Planners and plant leads were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed plan to produce and hid who owned the next step.”

Story
AB InBev is based in Belgium and runs consumer staples operations at a scale where supply and production planning cannot live in side channels. Planners and plant leads were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed plan to produce and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs plan to produce on SAP, with SAP BTP as the product planners and plant leads actually open. SAP is the global leader in enterprise resource planning software, with S/4HANA, business technology platform services, and industry cloud applications. For AB InBev, that means planners and plant leads can open one workflow, see supply and production planning, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for supply and production planning.
