Case study

How a tier-1 automotive company improved
their forecasting accuracy by 56% and aligned everyone from management to production

Their challenges

Lack of accurate forecasting

Their Excel-based forecasting methodology resulted in low forecast accuracy and an inability to detect trend shifts.

This subsequently hindered them from optimizing capacity planning.

Aligning forecasting globally

There was a requirement to extend forecasting coverage to more markets for both demand and production needs. Due to a heavy reliance on a scarce team covering multiple markets globally, this was not possible.

Meet market shifts

They needed to have the data to adapt production capacity efficiently and ahead of time to meet market turns and shifts, and to date, this was not possible.

Key results

+56% forecast accuracy improvement

Continuous forecasting minimized error margin over a year.

Identified new & stronger leading indicators

They were now able to identify the indicators that were relevant to their production numbers.
