Demand Based Management
Companies improve flexibility in the supply chain and they often implement a demand driven flow in their plants. Production is based on concrete customer demand. 
Having flexible plants is essential for manufacturing companies but planning and forecasting changes in market demand is equally essential for the companies to currently be able to increase/reduce the output according to changes in demand. Continuous adjustments of staff, stock, and kanbans are required.
The consequence of planning that is not demand driven may be that orders cannot be delivered on time or that rush orders, outsourcing, or overtime are required. The consequence for production is several costly disturbances and also that the wanted profit on sales orders cannot be achieved.
The optimal benefits can only be achieved when focus is on having flow throughout the entire supply chain and also that some clear flexibility rules in supply are defined.
