Effective demand planning and stock control are critical components of Supply Chain Management (SCM), enabling organisations to enhance forecast accuracy, maintain optimal inventory levels, and boost profitability by minimising expenses. Proper execution of these processes eliminates the risks of stock shortages and surplus inventory, streamlining operations. Demand planners, often working behind the scenes, face complex challenges due to the dynamic and uncertain nature of their role. However, when performed successfully, these efforts unlock significant opportunities for organisations to optimise their supply chains. 

This 5-day course delves into key demand planning theories, models, and best practices, equipping participants with the tools to manage diverse scenarios and ensure a steady flow of inventory at the lowest possible cost — including how AI is now used for reorder point automation and predictive demand forecasting.
