With supply chain disruptions causing unpredictability in the availability of raw materials and hike in the cost of input, companies are prone to losing phenomenally on over or under-investment in the working capital.
The key to safe cruising here is to have an intact and agile demand and supply planning function, but not all companies can have one due to limited resources or expertise.

Efficient and Resilient Supply Chain With EA’s Demand & Supply Planning Services
Demand Planning refers to the process of forecasting the demand for a future period, usually a year, to plan production and avoid shortages. Supply Planning refers to the process of mobilizing inventories to ensure adequate production to meet the forecasted demand. Collectively, Demand and Supply Planning is, therefore, the inclusive process of forecasting the customer demand and managing inventories to ensure fulfilment of the forecasted targets. Demand Planning is proven to support Supply Chain Planning as the two processes are inextricably linked to each other.
EA leverages its high-quality staff augmentation and outsourcing solutions to provide high-quality supply chain professionals to aid the clients’ Demand & Supply Planning process.
Demand planning outsourcing may appear uncommon and risky to most companies but being a quality-centric and knowledge-driven outsourcing and staff augmentation partner, EA puts in place quality assurance procedures to ensure the associated risks are neutralized.
