Retail staff rarely ask about seasonal demand planning directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why seasonal demand planning matters on the Flux
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.
Keeping a short internal note on seasonal demand planning for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Flux.
