This document is from a PowerPoint presentation on managing supply and demand in a supply chain. It discusses how predictable variability in demand can increase costs and decrease responsiveness. It presents two approaches to address this issue: managing supply through capacity, inventory and subcontracting, and managing demand using short-term price discounts and promotions. The document provides examples of how promotions at different times can impact inventory levels, costs and profits. It concludes that the optimal timing of a promotion depends on factors like forward buying behavior and product margins.
