A top-down planning engine is a software-based system in logistics and supply chain management that initiates demand and production planning at the highest organizational level by defining strategic objectives and constraints, then decomposes them into detailed operational plans for specific locations or products. This approach ensures that all downstream planning activities align with overarching corporate goals.
