− Demand is continuous
• Benefits
− Highly reactive
− Pushes for a short replenishment time

− Pushes for a short replenishment time
− Logic is simple to explain
− Stable (doesn’t change every day)
• Shortcomings
− Disregards knowledge of future
− Adjusts slowly to sudden changes
− Disregards long history

− Everything can be predicted
− People will trust the output
• Benefits
− Can take into account knowledge about the future
− Takes into account long history

− Takes into account long history
− Provides the best theoretical result if all data is accurate, and if done frequently enough on all SKUs
• Shortcomings
− Usually predicts only the average sales and does not include any estimation of the forecasting error
− Hard to understand for many people – causing overriding of results
− Subjective and unstable – different user inputs would provide different results
− Every recalculation of the forecast tends to be disruptive

Continuous Demand Would give different daily
results – resulting in an unstable system and
noise
Would give the best
results – a stable system that changes and adjusts
periodically only when
needed
Sharp Demand Changes Would give a fair
estimation of the needed
stocks at each location
Would provide good
results only when the
replenishment time is short relative to the degree of change

When to use eachWhen to use eachWhen to use eachWhen to use eachWhen to use eachWhen to use eachWhen to use eachWhen to use each
• Use DBM whenever expectations are for fairly continuous demand
• When a sharp demand change is expected – plan the CWH/RWH stocks according to forecast

• Revert back to DBM as quickly as possible to adjust to reality

1) Stock Buildup
− Order the needed stock at least a replenishment time in advance – see whether you need to order in small batches
2) Waiting for stock
13

2) Waiting for stock
− Waiting for stocks to arrive using the forecasted buffer size – replenishing within the period, but freezing DBM
3) Inside the high demand
− Act according to DBM

4) Stock Builddown
− Plan to reduce the buffer size enough time in advance to not stay with too much inventory
− Thus canceling the replenishment process from

− Thus canceling the replenishment process from the point this was activated until the stock in the system is below the new lower level
5) Back to normal
− Return to normal behavior – replenishing and acting according to DBM

• Shortening replenishment time is important in regular supply chain environments
• When seasonality is active, it’s absolutely a must if it’s possible – enabling minimum forecasting and using the power of DBM

• The cost of the upgraded method per unit should be considered against the T of the unit

• In most cases there will be a clear cut between the methods
− Keeping high inventories
− Using the upgraded transportation
− Losing the sales

− Losing the sales
• If not – some financial calculations can reveal the direction of the solution
