The Demand Driven Methodology takes conventional ERP planning methods to the next level.  Focusing on flow, the Demand Driven method seeks maximize customer service levels while driving down inventory. The method uses strategically placed buffers and with tight and ever adjusting controls to manage the flow of materials and the utilization of resources.
