Companies excelling in customer service  need to be able to construct  a model of their future,by forecasting their demand so that the rest  of their supply chain resources can be aligned to this demand.The challenge  of Demand Planning is further  intensified by the effects of seasonality, promotions, and product proliferation, not to mention growth through mergers and acquisitions.
