With higher demand forecast accuracy, you can move at your own speed and make strategic production decisions.
Grounded on sound, unbiased data.
As the demand for your products is typically dictated by a partner’s expectations, how do you balance their estimates and your inventory level, and safeguard against fluctuations? One of these expectations could be wanting to ensure product availability from you as the supplier.
To stabilize the production line, and minimize under-or overproduction, you would need an independent and highly accurate forecast for the actual future sales volumes.
Through a model that predicts future sales based on leading indicators, it is possible to obtain an accurate forecast. One that will reflect actual customer demand, giving you an unbiased forecast that is independent of the vested interests of your partner.
We probably can’t do away altogether with end-customer demand variations, especially when these changes happen during the span of two weeks.
However, by planning ahead, you can buffer the impact of these potential shifts in a cost-effective way, and manage the impact of inconsistencies.
Improving the accuracy of your demand forecasting will reduce the level of stock needed, culminating in cost savings.
