Let’s keep our eyes open to emerging demand patterns in Supply Chain planning and execution.

Companies working on a monthly forecast based supply planning look at the demand patterns once a month and a lot of them close their eyes after that. Supply plans are prepared and executed based on that reality.

A few teams open their eyes once every week to review and update their plans. These updates are mostly minor tweaks to the monthly plans.

Only a few companies working on Demand Driven Supply Chain methodology keep their eyes open at all times for replanning their supply execution.

How often does your team open their eyes?
