Let's be clear: a demand planner is NOT the same as a supply planner. This infographic compares a demand planner and a supply planner: ✅ Focus 👉 Demand Planner: prediction of the future demand 👉 Supply Planner: optimization to accomplish demand plan ✅ Key Activities 👉 Demand Planner: identify anomalies in data and refine forecasts 👉 Supply Planner: plan capacity and inventory to align with demand ✅ Stakeholders 👉 Demand Planner: CEO, Marketing, Sales, New Product Introductions, Finance, Supply Planning 👉 Supply Planner: Manufacturing/ Operations/ Production, Materials, Procurement, Finance, Demand Planning ✅ Negotiation Skills 👉 Demand Planner: to navigate internal politics and communicate gaps against the plan 👉 Supply Planner: to secure favorable terms with demand planners, production managers and suppliers ✅ Data 👉 Demand Planner: uses models to predict demand; POS data, shipments, orders 👉 Supply Planner: uses models to optimize capacity, resources, inventory ✅ Demand 👉 Demand Planner: unconstrained demand 👉 Supply Planner: turns unconstrained demand into constrained demand ✅ Metrics 👉 Demand Planner: FVA (forecast value added), MAPE, WMAPE, bias 👉 Supply Planner: OTIF (on time in full), fill rate, lost sales, inventory turnover ✅ Technology 👉 Demand Planner: advanced forecasting and data representation tools 👉 Supply Planner: ERP, planning systems and inventory management tools ✅ Impact on Financials 👉 Demand Planner: revenue (top line) 👉 Supply Planner: cost (bottom line) Note: late shipments or shortages can also impact the top line Any other aspects to add? #supplychain #salesandoperationsplanning #integratedbusinessplanning #procurement
