 Demand Planning & ForecastingSuccessful businesses plan their operations around forecast demand for their products. Demand planning is a highly specialised supply chain discipline which incorporates inputs from sales, marketing and operations elements of the business and collaboration with suppliers and clients, to develop a demand plan which in turn feeds into a production or replenishment plan. Events such as promotions are integrated into planning frameworks and cease to be 'Russian roulette' for inventory planners.GRA assists clients to implement a bottom up approach to demand planning; ensuring fact-based forecasting, not wishful thinking. GRA tailors demand planning processes, systems, data and performance measures to fit our client's particular demand planning and forecasting requirements. GRA also has unparalleled ability to implement pattern-based recognition models to ensure that forecasts for each product are calculated using the most appropriate statistical distributions – whether the products be seasonal, cyclical, sporadic, trending or in the early stages of their life cycle. Demand management provides a more complete view of the business; not merely forecasting. Demand management can help to manage all the activities associated with discovering markets, planning products or services for those markets and then fulfilling the customers 'demand'. It is an integrated set of processes across your company and your end to end supply chain. Again, GRA has the knowledge and experience to continue leading clients to full integration of demand management as a core business management process to a level of sophistication matched to your business needs.
