Demand Driven Replenishment
with SAP S/4HANA
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.
