Within an organization, the words “Demand Planning” stir emotions. Seldom do we find a team excited about demand planning. After two decades of process and technology refinement, excellence in demand management still eludes supply chain teams. They want to improve demand planning, but they remain skeptical that they can ever be successful in improving the process. Supply Chain Management (SCM) concepts are now thirty-years old.

Demand management has always been at the top of supply chain professionals’ list of challenges. All these moves have added complexity to the demand planning challenge. Companies have made their chains more complex in other ways, with supply-side changes such as outsourcing and by varying logistics methods leading to constant complaints of poor visibility. These low scorers report forecast inaccuracy, and demand planning as their biggest headaches.

Demand modeling has emerged as a key decisioning tool in supply chain design. Standard forecasting tools can fall short if they can’t take into consideration external causal factors that drive demand like weather and economic and political indicators, or help predict demand 5-10 years out when making long-term strategic decisions.

A beverage production plan is set about 2-3 months in advance based on historical demand. The logistics departments of beverage manufacturers use historical orders to contract transport capacity, typically for a 6-12 month period, to get the beverages to market.

Applications in supply chain management are nothing new. Machine Learning has been used to improve demand forecasting since the early 2000s. Demand Planning applications rely on a series of algorithms to take historical shipment data and turn it into a forecast. In a demand management application, the system is continuously monitoring forecasting accuracy. Analysis of commodity prices and weather patterns can optimize demand, replenishment and supply planning.
