Tiivistelmä
Planning, particularly supply chain demand planning, has always been a difficult task. One of the main difficulties when doing demand planning is that there are almost an infinite number of variables that can greatly affect the result of the business, hence the planning.
The objectives of the study were to study a country, based in South East Asia, to learn how a planning process was set up and implemented. From the study, at least an over-view process can be visualized so that other companies, or at least individuals, could take it as a reference for future operation work.
Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used for the study. Formulas and sim-ulations were used to compute different scenarios in the planning. In addition to that, interviews, with related context to the study, were conducted. These interviews were transcribed accordingly.
The overview planning process was generated with an open approach. This means that the process is not particularly used only for a special business field but also, can be applied for various organizations. However, several factors need to be considered care-fully before the implementation.
