Which metric is used to measure the effectiveness of the Demand to Management OMBP?

Oracle’s Modern Best Practice (OMB​P) flow “Demand-to-Manage” lists forecast-accuracy improvement as the key KPI for measuring effectiveness of the demand-management cycle; the metric tracks how closely projected demand matches actual consumption, indicating the quality of the entire process.

A. Customer Acquisition Cost measures sales/marketing efficiency, not demand-planning performance.
B. Supplier Lead Time evaluates procurement responsiveness, unrelated to demand accuracy.
D. Inventory Turnover gauges stock efficiency, only indirectly linked to demand planning and therefore not the principal OMBP KPI.
