Effective demand planning is the key to optimizing your resources across the enterprise. Whether you are deploying nursing staffs across hospital units, or planning production and building inventories in a manufacturing company, understanding demand patterns and the drivers of demand can spell the difference between profit and loss.

At Strategic Systems we have helped clients apply statistical and collaborative methods and technologies to predict demand for goods and services, and monitor effectiveness of the demand planning process. With our demand planning solutions, you can:

• Forecast ‘unconstrained’ demand for products and services, information that you need for resource deployment and manufacturing and inventory planning
• Use statistical methods to build baseline forecasts, and incorporate input from sales teams and managers to create actionable demand numbers
• Use forecasting to initiate sales and operations planning processes in manufacturing, and work with ‘demand drivers’ such as physicians in healthcare settings to understand impact of their decisions

Strategic Systems’ experience in creating systems for demand forecasting and working with clients to implement processes incorporating these tools provides us with a unique capability to address your demand planning needs. We can implement a web-based system that increases collaboration between all key stakeholders of this critical process, and also help develop the methodology for downstream resource deployment and optimization.
