When you click a segment arrow in the Production Planning Segmentation workbook, what can you do?

When you click a segment arrow in the Production Planning Segmentation workbook, setting a segment threshold to cumulative demand percentage allows you to refine and customize the planning process for production. By establishing this threshold, you can control how much of the cumulative demand is considered when analyzing different segments within your production plan. This feature is vital in helping manufacturers prioritize their resources and adjust their production schedules to meet the quantified demand efficiently.

A thorough understanding of cumulative demand percentage is essential for optimizing inventory levels and improving the alignment of production with market needs, which is crucial for effective supply chain management. The ability to segment and analyze demand can lead to improved decision-making regarding which production batches to prioritize, thus enhancing overall efficiency in production planning.
