• Define Master Data and Scheduling RulesRecorded application
  Why these connect

  The source model links this activity to the capability.

• Align Ordering Cadence and Supply ContinuityApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  Application question: How do demand and lead-time uncertainty affect inventory and material movements? The selected activity supplies a concrete operating, design or decision context in which to align ordering cadence and supply continuity.

• Balance One-Time Ordering and Demand UncertaintyApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  Application question: How do demand and lead-time uncertainty affect inventory and material movements? The selected activity supplies a concrete operating, design or decision context in which to balance one-time ordering and demand uncertainty. One-time ordering tradeoffs apply to conversion planning; a calculated newsvendor optimum is not asserted.

• Develop Forecasts and Scenario AnalysesApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  Application question: Are data definitions and calculation bases reliable enough for the decision? The selected activity supplies a concrete operating, design or decision context in which to develop forecasts and scenario analyses.

• Develop Structured Data and Reporting ModelsApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  Application question: Can extraction, transformations and models be reproduced from identified inputs? The selected activity supplies a concrete operating, design or decision context in which to develop structured data and reporting models.

• Evaluate Forecast Accuracy and BiasApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  Application question: How do demand and lead-time uncertainty affect inventory and material movements? The selected activity supplies a concrete operating, design or decision context in which to evaluate forecast accuracy and bias.

• Extract and Reconcile Data with SQLApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  Application question: Can extraction, transformations and models be reproduced from identified inputs? The selected activity supplies a concrete operating, design or decision context in which to extract and reconcile data with SQL. Data extraction is relevant to these source/model activities; use of a particular query or database in the project is not inferred.

• Forecast Demand and Seasonal WorkloadApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  Application question: How do demand and lead-time uncertainty affect inventory and material movements? The selected activity supplies a concrete operating, design or decision context in which to forecast demand and seasonal workload.

• Plan Inventory and Replenishment Under UncertaintyApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  Application question: How do demand and lead-time uncertainty affect inventory and material movements? The selected activity supplies a concrete operating, design or decision context in which to plan inventory and replenishment under uncertainty.
