Demand Streams are the right way to model demand flowing into an S&OP family. Importantly, demand planning is a distinct process from S&OP… the two should be coupled, but not too tightly. They’re not the same thing!
This also flows from our core concept: Families should NOT be demand-facing… but based on measurable execution around supply constraints – typically making, buying, or otherwise producing something to supply.
