Demand Scenario Planning Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Leaders want to know what happens if demand rises or falls, but building scenarios by hand rarely shows where supply would break. Each quarter, or after a major event, this agent defines scenarios with the planner, such as a big customer win, a recession dip or a competitor exit, with every assumption labeled. It applies each scenario to the baseline forecast by family and shows the effect on inventory, capacity and revenue. Scenarios with overlapping effects are not added together. It then checks each scenario against capacity and supplier limits month by month. If a scenario breaks a limit, it shows the first month and the size of the gap and drafts options. A second check confirms the scenario totals reconcile with the baseline. The planner approves scenarios before they go to the S&OP meeting. Edge case: a scenario that relies on an unconfirmed contract is marked as speculative.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It applies changes by family and flags the first month a capacity or supplier limit is broken.

  • Overlapping effects are not added
  • Limits shown by month
  • Assumptions labeled

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Scenario list and size of each swing
  • Planning horizon (default 12 months)
  • Limits checked
  • Pack format

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Sharing scenarios

Hard limits

  • Never commits supply or capacity
  • Always labels assumptions

It stops when

  • Done: approved scenarios ready for S&OP
  • Stop: capacity data missing, run demand and revenue only and say so

An example run

What happensIn the Q2 pack, a 15 percent upside scenario from a large retailer win broke bottle filling capacity in month 3 by about 8,000 cases. The limit check failed, so the agent showed the gap by week and drafted three options: weekend overtime, a co-packer for one size, or delaying a planned promotion. The downside scenario stayed within limits and showed $2.1 million less revenue. The planner approved both.
