ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for planning demand of a product, such as a configurable product. In one embodiment, a method is provided for planning demand for a configurable product in a managed supply chain. In another embodiment, a demand planner is provided for planning demand for a configurable product in a managed supply chain. The method may comprise the steps of: providing a data storage system to store data relating to a plurality of configurable products in terms of their respective product dependent characteristics; inputting a selection to be represented for a plurality of products in terms of percentage values for a particular product dependent characteristic, wherein the percentage values relate to respective components or qualities of the particular product dependent characteristic; in response to the inputting step, loading data for the plurality of products from the data storage system on at least the product level; copying the percentage values for the respective components or qualities to the product level; and performing the percentage calculation on the loaded data at the product level to obtain absolute values on the product level.
