Part 1. Forecasting demand

We start our journey by introducing the demand planning excellence framework (chapter 1). Then, we will discuss the most important elements of demand forecasting: why we forecast demand (chapter 2), why and how we should forecast unconstrained demand rather than constrained sales (chapters 3 and 4), and which granularity (chapter 5) and horizon (chapter 6) we should use and focus on when forecasting demand. Finally, we will discuss forecast reconciliations (chapter 7).
