Demand Planner

A Demand Planner is a supply chain professional who utilizes analytical, statistical, and forecasting methods to accurately predict the future demand for a company's products or services. 

They play a vital role in inventory management, business planning, and helping the company to meet its sales and service objectives.

Demand Planners are responsible for creating accurate sales forecasts. This involves analyzing historical sales data and market trends and considering factors like promotional activity, new product launches, and changes in the competitive landscape. 

These predictions drive production planning and inventory management, ensuring sufficient stock is available to meet customer demand without tying up too much capital in excess inventory. 

Demand Planners typically work closely with teams such as sales, marketing, and operations to understand demand changes and align the forecast with the company's overall business plan.
