A multi-year view of aggregate demand with a supplier-capacity overlay and an explicit over-capacity
zone — making it obvious when long-range growth breaks the current supply plan.
Actual/forecast inputs plus forward-year projections, editable growth rates, utilization, and
gap-to-capacity — letting planners see exactly which materials create the bottleneck and how sensitive
the plan is to growth assumptions. Tune growth rates during planning meetings to stress-test the demand
plan live.
