Editor's Notes
- You’ll hear the same themes again and again but that’s what Demand Planning does. We do the same thing over and over again every planning cycle.
- A tiered structure enables growth and development Retain your best talent for experienced based continuous improvement Knowledgeable resources to mentor new talent
- The primary objective for Demand Planning is to produce a realistic, unconstrained, and unbiased forecast. Note I said realistic instead of accurate, something we’ll discuss later. The foundation for the forecast is the statistical model.
