Forecast Improvement
Today, companies are faced with increasingly complex and conflicting
objectives as they strive to remain competitive in today’s global
marketplace. Proper demand management is a critical ingredient needed to
help companies meet financial and operational supply chain objectives.
Remember that failure to properly monitor and control the forecasting
process places a company at a competitive disadvantage.
This interactive presentation is designed to provide each attendee with
an understanding and knowledge of the forecast process and improvement
tools. Each attendee will learn how to assess and evaluate the forecast;
how to improve the process; and how to help reduce the volatility of
forecast error. Finally each attendee will leave the presentation with
practical knowledge that can be immediately applied to help answer the
following questions:
- What is the financial impact of poor forecasting?
- Why do I need to address the issue of data integrity and
metrics?
- How do I assess if the forecasting process meets supply chain
objectives?
- How does poor forecasting hurt customer service and delivery
performance?
