its A - S&OP: Like building a strong foundation for a house, preventing it from becoming unstable in the first place. DTFs: Like adding support beams to an existing house to make it more resistant to earthquakes (sudden changes).

D: DTFs are used to stabilize demand forecasts and provide stability for production planning and scheduling. By implementing DTFs, the firm can establish clear boundaries for when changes to demand forecasts can occur, thereby reducing the frequency of last-minute changes to production schedules caused by sudden shifts in customer orders.
