Demand Management Definitions
1) The function of recognizing all demands for goods and services to support the marketplace. It involves prioritizing demand when supply is lacking. Proper demand management facilitates the planning and use of resources for profitable business results.2) In marketing, the process of planning, executing, controlling, and monitoring the design, pricing, promotion, and distribution of products and services to bring about transactions that meet organizational and individual needs
APICS Dictionary:
The proactive compilation of requirements information regarding demand (i.e., customers, sales, marketing, finance) and the firm's capabilities from the supply side (i.e., supply, operations and logistics management); the development of a consensus regarding the ability to match the requirements and capabilities; and the agreement upon a synthesized plan that can most effectively meet the customer requirements within the constraints imposed by supply chain capabilities

Services Characteristics
IntangibleService is usually an intangible exchange of value, in contrast to the tangible value found in a physical product such as bread, butter, and jam
Immediate consumption
Services are often produced and consumed simultaneously
UniqueThe services received by a customer are often unique to that customer
Lack of precise
definition
While products are rigorously defined as to fit, form, and function, services normally consist of a core value around which a variety of different outcomes can occur
Chapter 6dp&c6-21
Services Dimensions
Intrinsic Services
• Described as being almost “commodity” in nature because they directly accompany the product
• Examples include warranties, packaging, rebates, and training allow customers to receive additional value with the receipt of the tangible product
Extrinsic Services
• Described as not directly accompany the product
• Examples include discounting, improved supply channel efficiency, credit, and product assortment add value to products by reducing customer internal costs, facilitating the flow of business information, and improving productivity
Chapter 6dp&c6-22
Services Life Cycle
DevelopmentMarketers will experiment with new forms of services they anticipate will provide a point of differentiation separating their firms from the competition
Growth
Planners are still investing in services development, but customers are beginning to see that the new service is providing sufficient value to persuade them to purchase the product
Maturity
Investment declines as the service becomes standardized, while increasing customer market demand for the product and accompanying services allow cost recovery and profit
SaturationCustomers feel the service is part of the product offering, often requiring that it be offered with little or no charge attached
Chapter 6dp&c6-23
Product Brand Definition
A name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or a
combination of them, intended to identify
the goods or services of one seller or group
of sellers and to differentiate them from
those of competitors
Brand can be tangible and functional when related to the performance of a physical product; it can also be intangible and emotional when the brand acts as a symbol
Chapter 6dp&c6-24
Importance of Product Brand
Brand enables the marketplace to easily identify the product or service producer or distributor. Customers learn about brands through past experiences and through the firm's marketing programs
Brands provide important information for the firm such as organizing their products and accounting records
Branding enables companies to legally protect unique attributes and designs through registered trademarks and copyrights
Brands leave an indelible impression on customers regarding certain levels of quality, functional predictability, and purchase peace-of-mind possessed above the physical product or service (often termed brand equity) that cannot be duplicated by even the best replicas created by competitors
Chapter 6dp&c6-25
Definition of Marketing

Developing Markets
Mass Market Strategy
A strategy whereby the seller engages in the mass production, mass distribution, and mass promotion of a single product or narrow product line targeted at all potential customers.
Segmented or Niche Market Strategy
• Segment the customer base into groups sharing common wants and needs, resources, geographical locations, buying attitudes, and practices
• Target those market segments that manifest the proper size and growth, are attractive in regard to a lack of competitors, match existing products and services, and leverage the business's internal and external strengths and resources
• Position the company's image, products, services, and brands so that customers within selected market segments understand the firm's competitive value
Chapter 6dp&c6-28
Marketing Strategy of One
Marketing in the Internet Age
This strategy requires marketers to have a firm grasp of the product, service, service, brand, and delivery strengths that give them a competitive advantage.
Once this is done, they must advance to a position that views each customer as if they were each a separate market. A key element is using technology to enable the customer to determine exactly how, what, and at
what price they want to buy

Demand Forecast
The demand forecast enables the business to make assumptions (what demand will happen in the future) and
view occurrences (what demand has actually happened in the past and how it impacted performance and forecast accuracy)
about marketplace demand that is used as a roadmap to guide the performance requirements of the sales and
operations teams. Forecast assumptions are concerned with internal actions that will shape future customer demand.
Assumptions are also concerned with how the anticipated affect of events occurring in the external environment will
affect marketplace demand

Using Product Families in Forecasting
Product families should be organized to match the actual SKUs the supply channel sells to the marketplace as well as how they are processed or purchased
Since product families should never exceed more than perhaps a dozen or so, they are easily identifiable
Product families permit sales to use detailed financial and demand history data. This data can be “rolled-up” from actual SKUs and summarized into the product families to which they belong
As actual sales occurs through time and the data is rolled-up into the appropriate product families, sales is provided with a more accurate view of the viability of their forecasts

Resource Planning – Definition
Capacity planning conducted at the business plan level.
The process of establishing, measuring, and adjusting
limits or levels of long-range capacity. Resource planning
is normally based on the production plan but may be
driven by higher level plans beyond the time horizon for
the production plan (e.g., the business plan). It
addresses those resources that take long periods of time
to acquire. Resource planning decisions always require
top management approval.

Balancing the Demand and Supply Plans
Chapter 6dp&c6-51
Sales and Operations Planning – Definition
A process to develop tactical plans that provide management the ability to strategically direct its
businesses to achieve competitive advantage on a continuous basis by integrating customer-focused
marketing plans for new and existing products with the management of the supply chain. The process brings
together all the plans for the business (sales, marketing, development, manufacturing, sourcing, and financial) into one integrated set of plans. It is performed at least once a month and is reviewed by management at an aggregate
(product family) level.
APICS Dictionary
Chapter 6dp&c6-52
S&OP - Characteristics It is a formal business process used by the firm’s leadership team to connect
corporate business planning with tactical planning, driving master scheduling and distribution planning
It provides managers with an opportunity to review and update the strategic business plan to meet organizational and marketplace changes as they occur through time
It ensures that the demand and supply plans are realistic, synchronized, and support the business plan
It provides sales and marketing with an opportunity to periodically review and revise demand plans so that they are closely synchronized with actual sales occurring in the marketplace
It enables operations managers to review and revise production and inventory plans that support the demand plan while optimizing productive and financial assets
It uses the aggregate data of sales, production, and inventory along with aggregate planning time buckets and product families to ensure greater planning accuracy. S&OP rarely uses individual products
