Inventory Demand Planning

This is codified expertise from planners who've managed hundreds of SKUs at multi-location retailers. It covers forecast method selection (when to use Holt-Winters versus simple moving averages), safety stock formulas that account for lead time variability, ABC/XYZ classification, and promotional lift estimation. The guidance is opinionated about practical pitfalls like moving averages lagging on seasonal items and MAPE breaking on low-volume SKUs. Use it when you're building demand planning tooling, evaluating forecast accuracy, or making buy decisions under supplier constraints. The examples walk through real scenarios like seasonal BOGO promotions and new SKU launches with no history.
