Learn how to get the right product at the right time with these demand forecasting best practices.
Many demand forecasters and planners who want to optimize inventory levels, often find themselves overstock or understock. They are repeating cycles where they have spent too much cash on the wrong products, or not enough on the right products and are missing sales. This can lead to loss of customers, firefighting urgent demand problems, costly expediting of product, and decreased profits. This topic helps the persons responsible for having the right product at the right time for their customers, operate with best-in-class demand forecasting practices to optimize inventory levels. The material also explains methods for evaluating poor performing SKUs, utilizing critical soft skills in collaboration, analyzing product trends, and strategically planning inventory levels.
