Demand Planning is vital and it ensures the ability to improve inventory management, increase customer satisfaction, optimize production planning, improve business strategy, and set and meet commitments. A good Demand Plan affects the entire organization, and in this course, I will walk you through the following objectives:

Be prepared to manage change
Learn how to hold an effective Demand Review
Invite the right people to the Demand Review
Make the most of sharing assumptions

In addition, we will build on the information from Course 1 and 2 and further our knowledge and expertise in Demand Planning. We will take a deeper dive into how we can incorporate time into Demand Planning and understand the importance of both time fences and lead times. We will also learn how to establish rules on when and how to break into a set plan.

Some other topics this course will cover include:
How to set due dates and freezes to reduce churn
Why the planning calendar makes us uncomfortable
How short lead times create more focus on demand planning in the current month

This course will set you apart and prepare you to make the decisions you need to drive success and continuous improvement. I am so excited to share with you my knowledge of Demand Management, and I hope you find it as interesting and rewarding as I do.
