5th Edition Demand Planning & Forecasting Summit & Awards 2022

"Predictions are really tough, especially about the Demand"

To revamp your business and plan its strategies in highly uncertain scenario, the Demand Planning and Forecasting is the most essential aspect of every organizations planning process.

Over the past few years, we have seen demand patterns ranging from huge spikes to deep troughs, and everything imaginable in between. Suddenly, what had been adequate planning tools have now become entirely defunct because of their reliance on historical trends. As an effect, companies that relied heavily on statistical forecasts needs to find an alternative approach to demand planning and get their demand planning back on track. This has prompted planners to go back to fundamentals and rethink and redesign their demand planning processes.

DPF summit is all about how to sense demand and plan effectively for better optimization of Inventory and production process to achieve cost optimization using Omni channel data sources and forecasting with latest analytical tools by integrating S&OP process to its maximum potential.

While there's no magic formula for forecasting, there are several steps that companies can take to mitigate uncertainty and improve their demand planning capabilities to avoid losses and optimize the inventory and manage the demand while meeting the demand expectations.
