Forecasting & Planning System
A structured Excel-based planning system designed to connect demand forecasts, planner overrides, BOM logic, component demand, supplier information, and planning status.
Problem
Forecasting product demand and converting it into material requirements can become difficult when data is spread across separate sheets, manual calculations, and disconnected planning steps.
Without a clear structure, it becomes harder to see which components are needed, which suppliers are missing information, and which items may require action.
Solution
I built a structured forecasting and planning setup in Excel that links product forecasts to BOM data and calculates component demand automatically.
The system supports planner overrides, final forecast values, safety stock, lead times, supplier information, and clear planning statuses to make follow-up easier.

- Forecast calculation based on demand history
- Planner override and final forecast logic
- BOM-based component demand calculation
- Safety stock, lead time, and reorder point fields
- Supplier and missing-information visibility
- Planning status flags for easier follow-up
- Structured output for dashboards and planning views
