Supply chain planning is the process of forecasting demand and coordinating the production, inventory, and distribution of goods to meet that demand efficiently. It includes activities like demand planning, sales and operations planning (S&OP), inventory optimization, and capacity planning. Supply chain planners use specialized software and statistical forecasting methods to balance supply with anticipated customer demand while minimizing excess inventory or stockouts.
