Supply/Demand Charts

The Supply / Demand Dashboard displays four quadrants that can display up to four charts. A manager accesses the S/D Dashboard and sees up-to-the minute details of potential issues being tracked. For example, if an inventory manager is managing two warehouses, he can view available quantities in each warehouse (two charts) and current demand broken into time-phased buckets, which are based on scheduled ship dates. In addition, he can view incoming supply for each warehouse (two charts), in time-phased buckets. This enables the inventory manager to view supply and demand for two warehouses and make decisions on how to manage a potential issue.

If potential issues are found, inventory managers can use the mass change feature to adjust supply and demand. The mass change feature is a secure option and users must be given access to this feature. If access is not provided for this feature, a user will not see mass change options.
