INSIGHT AND ANALYSIS
Demand-driven supply chain management challenges traditional thinking. Here we explore the benefits of the demand-driven approach, compare it with traditional MRP and examine its key principles as well as barriers to adoption in food and grocery.
This report looks at defining demand sensing, which is a way of amending short-term demand plans in order to be more responsive to demand. We also highlight what it needs to be successful: Internal, customer and environmental data.
