Demand drivers

A demand driver captures the space class, space standard, functional role, worker type, and demand category into one record that provides insight into how spaces are classified.

Demand drivers are used in forecasting for capacity and size. When you generate data in a planning environment, IBM® TRIRIGA® creates demand drivers that are not yet defined. Define the demand drivers that you expect to use during the planning process.

Demand drivers are used as groupings for the forecast processes in collecting data and calculations. Demand drivers are categorized as either headcount or non-headcount. Examples of demand drivers include office workers, manufacturing product volume, warehouse pallet storage, dorm students, and meeting volume.
