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 3
Order production slots well ahead of the peak to avoid factory congestion.
Keeping a short internal note on seasonal demand planning for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Prime 3.
Build a buffer for promotional periods rather than reordering at the last minute.
