Managing Assumptions - The Building Blocks of Your Demand Plan

Your demand plan is based on standard, clearly defined assumptions. How do you leverage those assumptions to form a comprehensive S&OP strategy? Once forecasts are created, how do you turn data into a plan? It is crucial to transliterate forecasts into useable information to help make strategic decisions, turning forecasting from a quantitative exercise into a highly valuable business tool. In this workshop, we will reveal the secrets behind our success at Mondelez. We will show how to better integrate assumptions into a demand planning process and how to leverage that to build a robust demand plan. We will relate fundamental assumptions that underline forecasting and how they relate to broader company objectives.

You will learn:

  • How to better integrate a focus on assumptions into the demand planning process and how they relate to company objectives
  • How to leverage assumptions to increase accuracy of the demand plan
  • How to drive business activity (actions and decision making) through those assumptions
