Matching supply and demand with ‘Sensible Sense and Responsive Response’

Hau L. Lee
Stanford Graduate School of Business

John Sicard
Kinaxis

Demand signals drive supply planning. They should ideally represent the true demands of the end-consumers. How can we correctly interpret the signals and make use of them smartly? That is, how can we make sense out of the senses?
Fast updated planning is the key to respond to new signals in the supply chain. This is both an art and science.
Demand signals should ideally be visible to the right parties in the supply chain, followed by intelligent synchronization and coordination in planning, so that the whole supply chain can react accurately and timely. How can this be done, and what values do this bring to the supply chain?
Agility helps to enable us to be very responsive in our response to customer needs. What are the elements of agility?
