Customer demand planning is the process of forecasting future customer demand for products or services so a business can align inventory, production, and staffing accordingly. Supply chain analysts and demand planners use historical sales data, market trends, and customer input to build forecasts and reduce the risk of stockouts or excess inventory. It's a core function in retail, manufacturing, and consumer goods companies.
