Demand planning is one of the most challenging yet critical aspects of running a modern supply chain. At its core, it’s about bringing together the right mix of data, workflows, and intuition to answer deceptively simple questions: What do we need? When do we need it? And how do we make it happen? In this webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Marty Parker, along with Wiley Jones, CEO of Doss, will unpack the foundational elements of demand planning—what works, what doesn’t, and how Doss helps tackle the inherent complexity. We’ll focus on breaking down key components like data modeling, demand variability, and aligning forecasts with operational realities. The session isn’t about selling a silver bullet solution; it’s about understanding the building blocks that make demand planning possible and how Doss enables teams to build on them effectively. If you’ve ever struggled to balance inventory levels, deal with forecast inaccuracies, or align procurement with production timelines, you won’t want to miss this session.
