On-Demand Webinar

Demand Planning in a COVID-19 Disrupted World

About the webinar

Due to the global outbreak of coronavirus, companies are seeing disruptions in their supply chains all over the world. Examples are found daily in the news, including intermittent demand with stockouts of some products and excess inventory of others. Poor demand planning techniques, during this crisis, can even destroy a business longer term and prevent any hope of recovery.

While acknowledging these changes can threaten continuity, businesses that wish to serve their customers as best they can and maintain sustainable financial performance, need to make decisions that accurately reflect the realities of the COVID-19 environment. Adaptation is needed to avoid lost revenues, and to eliminate knee-jerk supply chain responses that will negatively impact profitability and cash investment at a time of constrained liquidity. 

Join this webinar to learn:

  • Challenges and impacts faced by businesses to predict and plan demand changes in the highly disruptive COVID-19 situation
  • How to build resilience and competency in your business with the latest technologies and techniques in demand planning, in a dynamic environment
  • How SAS & CT Global, through our Demand Planning Solutions, industry and talent can help our customers in critical areas of data management, machine learning and analytical capabilities
  • Solutions and Use cases that is applicable to any industry that are struggling to forecast demand in these unique times
