Demand Management
Information flow down the supply chain – customer forecasts need to be more accurate
Information flow – Suppliers need to be able to plan with the information (forecasts) provided and flow this information down the chain (this is a market failure).
Information flow – Suppliers need to understand their own capacity and measure loading (demand) against this capacity (this is a market failure).
Stock levels need to optimised to avoid downgrading and scrapping.

Supply Chain Mega-Trends
Increased transport costs and the challenges of
providing/delivering optimal service are mandating enhanced
collaboration with service providers.
Distribution networks are being redesigned to react to increased
freight costs and system bottlenecks; this will significantly change
