Inventory Demand Planning

Codifies 15+ years of demand planning experience into practical forecasting and inventory optimization guidance. Covers method selection (when to use moving averages vs. exponential smoothing vs. machine learning), safety stock formulas that account for lead time variability, ABC/XYZ classification, and promotional lift estimation. The context is multi-location retail with hundreds of SKUs, bridging merchandising, supply chain, and finance constraints. Useful when you're building demand forecasting tools, planning replenishment logic, or need to explain why your safety stock calculation isn't just a simple multiplier. The metrics section alone (MAPE vs. WMAPE, bias, tracking signals) is worth keeping around if you're instrumenting any inventory system.
