Seasonal planning prevents the two classic Zen Max problems: stockouts in peak and dead stock after.
There is no shortcut on seasonal demand planning: the Zen Max rewards preparation and punishes improvisation.
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 Zen Max

In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Zen Max.
