How I think
Forecast to launch
Every product launch, whether it ships in a box or on a rocket, runs on the same chain. These are the links I work on.
01Plan
Forecast demand and balance it with supply through S&OP.
02Source
Pick suppliers, secure capacity, and hedge risk on critical parts.
03Make
Ramp production for new products without starving existing lines.
04Deliver
Place inventory and move product at the lowest practical cost.
05Launch
Hit the date, whether that is launch day in stores or on the pad.
