Solution:

Based on content from learning.sap.com, the two correct features in SAP IBP that help

manufacturers mitigate

sudden demand spikes and maintain supply chain stability are:

✅ A. Risk assessment

SAP IBP (especially through the Supply Chain Control Tower) enables systematic risk assessment,

real-time

alerting, and scenario simulation to identify and mitigate supply chain disruptions.

✅ C. Trend monitoring

Within IBP's demand planning capabilities, tools like time-series analysis and demand sensing help

detect trends

and anomalies, allowing manufacturers to proactively adjust forecasts and supply plans

The other options are not supported by learning.sap.com:

B. Automated supplier contracts – relates to procurement (e.g., SAP Ariba), not core IBP capabilities.

D. Optimized delivery schedules – this is part of execution/logistics, not directly a core IBP feature

for

handling demand spikes.

Therefore, the correct answe rs are A and C
