From Baseline to Consensus Forecast: AI-Enabled Demand Planning for Pharma and Nutrition Manufacturers

Rapidflow implemented and supports Oracle Fusion Cloud Demand Management for demand planning and collaboration. It was delivered in two phases: AI-based collaborative forecasting to establish a consensus forecast, then connecting demand planning with supply and manufacturing through integrations with the client’s existing Oracle ASCP supply planning system and other legacy systems.

The client moved from Excel-based planning to cloud-based, AI-enabled, collaborative forecasting involving Demand Planners, Sales, Marketing, and Production teams. It now runs automated, seamlessly integrated monthly planning cycles. White-label SKUs, all Demand Classes, and custom product hierarchies are included in the forecasting process.

It is relevant to supply chain, demand planning, sales, and manufacturing leaders at pharmaceutical, vitamin, and nutritional supplement manufacturers. It is especially useful for organizations that plan white-label or private-label products, are moving from spreadsheet-based forecasting, or want to connect demand planning with supply planning in Oracle.

Phase one offered collaborative forecasting to establish a consensus forecast using Oracle AI-based forecasting algorithms. Phase two connected demand planning with supply and manufacturing, using supply feedback to support constrained forecasting. The solution also includes automated monthly demand planning cycles with the capability of monthly or ad-hoc forecast publishing.
