I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about manufacturing being more affected by time fences.

I think extending the demand planning time fence might not really help customers as much since they usually want quick responses.

Good point. Shipping could also be impacted since they have less time to react to changes in the schedule. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons for each group.

I'm not sure about that. Customers might actually get the least benefit since it gives them less flexibility to change their orders at the last minute.

Okay, let's see. Extending the time fence means more time to plan, so that should benefit manufacturing and production scheduling the most, right?

The customers are gonna be the ones doing the least celebrating with a longer demand planning time fence. That's my two cents!
