Clara la información para poderla aplicar en el trabajo

By Pedro Rodriguez Canelo on 8/17/2026

Lo cierto es que me ha dado una visión más completa de lo que implican las previsiones y cómo intentar que sean lo más fieles posibles. También es cierto que me he perdido un poco con respecto a algunas fórmulas, pero porque no he podido descargarme el material adjunto.

Cours très théorique et qui rend difficile de s'imaginer comment nous allons utiliser cela concrètement dans nos projets.

By Sanns Law on 5/17/2026

Thank you Yasin! It was indeed a well-structured training and meets my objective to better understand demand planning.

By Adhava Raj T on 5/16/2026

The data-driven intersection of sales, supply chain, and finance will be the focus of your Demand Planning and S&OP course. By using Excel and statistical forecasting models, you will learn to forecast future market needs and translate those insights into concrete operational plans, while balancing conflicting business goals.

We learnt many things here as demand forecasting depend on monthly, quantitive forecasting, forecasting technique, Seansonability effect, exponential smoothing etc.

By Lalit Upadhyay on 3/29/2026

The course topics are very knowledgeable and useful. However, the tone of language needs improvement. If the language is delivered in an Indian tone or style, the course will become much more effective.

By Shashank Shukla on 3/20/2026

Good course, clear and practical. It match my interests and helped me understand demand planning better.

By Alexandre Manzanilla on 10/23/2020

Beaucoup trop de fioriture autour des sujets qui intressent vraiment puis pas assez d'exercices pratiques pour mettre en pratique immdiatement. Les fichiers Excel sont intressants avec des formules dj faites.
