Seasonal Demand Planning Guide for Al Fakher Prime 2

Seasonal planning prevents the two classic Prime 2 problems: stockouts in peak and dead stock after.
A range review that ignores seasonal demand planning will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Prime 2.
Seasonality interacts with seasonal demand planning more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why seasonal demand planning matters on the Prime 2
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Prime 2 economics actually settle.
Build a buffer for promotional periods rather than reordering at the last minute.
