Definition
A Demand Adjustment Event is a specific occurrence or planned activity that is expected to cause a significant deviation from the typical demand patterns for a product or customer segment. These events can lead to either an increase or decrease in demand and are essential for accurate demand planning. Demand Adjustment Events help businesses anticipate changes in demand, allowing them to adjust their supply chain operations proactively to meet these changes effectively.
