Demand Driven Replenishment brings material planning into the digital age - flexible, data-based and reflects actual demand.

Dynamic buffers and data-based control

With Demand Driven Replenishment (DDR), SAP S/4HANA offers a modern, data-based solution for optimizing material supply. In contrast to traditional, forecast-based planning methods, DDR relies on real consumption data and deliberately dispenses with sales forecasts.

The system continuously calculates dynamic buffers at defined decoupling points in the supply chain. These buffers are flexibly adapted to fluctuations in demand in order to avoid the so-called bullwhip effect and ensure a stable material flow.

The contents of the white paper at a glance

The white paper explains the principles of demand-driven replenishment and explains how DDR is based on real consumption data and replaces traditional forecasting methods.

Discover how DDR works as an integral part of SAP S/4HANA, how dynamic buffers are calculated at decoupling points and what automation options are available.

We show you how companies can use DDR to optimize their inventories, reduce costs and improve delivery capability - especially in industries with high demand volatility.

The white paper describes the individual phases of DDR planning including insights into the system and provides recommendations for successful implementation in daily material requirements planning.

Tailored for the consumer

goods industry

DDR is particularly suitable for materials with high demand volatility or a short consumption history. The solution is fully integrated into SAP S/4HANA and uses real-time consumption data for precise and automated replenishment planning. Companies benefit from lower inventory costs, greater efficiency and improved delivery capability - key advantages for the consumer goods industry, which is characterized by volatile markets and short product life cycles.
