Demand planning is a cross-functional process that helps businesses meet customer demand for products while minimizing excess inventory and avoiding supply chain disruptions. It can increase profitability and customer satisfaction and lead to efficiency gains.
Demand planning requires analyzing sales as well as consumer trends, historical sales, and seasonality data to optimize your business’s ability to meet customer demand in the most efficient way possible.
Effective demand planning delivers both profit and customer satisfaction by helping businesses strike the right balance between sufficient inventory levels and customer demand. That’s not an easy goal, especially since it requires coordination across your entire organization. But the business implications are significant. Excess inventory locks up working capital, adds inventory carrying costs, and increases the potential that you’ll be stuck with low-value or obsolete inventory. Alternatively, poor planning can result in avoidable supply chain disruptions and leave a company short on products, which can result in backorders, stockouts, or costly scrambles for raw materials. All of these issues can result in delays, which leads to dissatisfied customers.
