Known events, left out.
Promotions, contract wins and planned shutdowns rarely make it into the numbers.
How much will we need next month?
Demand forecast from orders, history and the events you already know about, so stock and capacity are planned before the rush, not during it.
See it worked throughThe forecast is last year.
The plan is a guess.
Most forecasts copy last year forward. The promotion, the new customer and the shutdown that will change next month live in emails and calendars.
One number, no range.
A single forecast hides how sure anyone is, so safety stock is set by feel.
Updated monthly.
Orders that arrive mid-month don’t move the plan until the next meeting.

The order, promotion or event that moved a forecast is shown beside it.
How Understand works ↗Nothing ordered automatically.
Purchase and shift proposals wait for a planner to approve them.
How Operate works ↗Same records.
