In simple words, demand planning refers to managing and planning for customer demand. Supply planning is about managing and planning the inventory supply to meet customer demand. Demand planning refers to forecasting consumer demand for a product or service well ahead of time and is usually associated with sales. It’s closely related to supply planning also since your business needs to ensure that you have enough supplies to meet the demand. In fact, demand forecasting allows you to maintain the supply levels properly.
