Demand Management includes all aspects of deploying your company’s value proposition to the marketplace. Market, channel, customer, and consumer activities are driven from a strategic level through market and market segment roadmaps. These guide market segment plans which are executed through detailed, time phased sales and marketing activities. Analytics, assumptions, modelling and customer collaboration are used to generate demand forecasts that integrate with, and drive the operational plans for your organisation, while also providing insights for improving sales and marketing performance. Demand execution processes ensure that the response to actual demand is proactively managed in line with market segment plans. Demand execution processes include demand sensing, forecast consumption monitoring, abnormal demand management, order commitment through available-to-promise, and service level definition through customer segmentation and prioritisation.
