Supply Chain Forecasting and Planning Discussed in Ultriva Sponsored Newsletter
Cupertino, CA, April 09, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Ultriva, sponsor of Forecast Errors, a weekly e-newsletter, which shares methods, modes, and tools used in a variety of supply chain industries, recently looked at the pros and cons of supply chain forecasting and planning. Supply Chain Forecasting and Planning encompasses the fundamentals of demand planning and eliminates forecast errors. The key elements of measuring forecasting performance and shaping manufacturing organizational footprint for the future means companies must successfully deploy a new forecast planning infrastructure; devise effective steps to drive costs down in demand planning and still maintain forecast integrity; and collaborate with various functional areas in the organization while maintaining forecast excellence. Manufacturers are building the best demand planning team within budget constraints, while moving from 'worst practices' to best practices in just a few easy steps.
The newsletter explores forecast errors as the difference between the actual and predicted value. Forecast Errors reports that what separates best-in-class companies from those that struggle with accuracy is how they root out (and learn from) forecasting errors. A forecast error is the difference between the actual and predicted value. The consequences are expensive inefficiencies that can be resolved with lean manufacturing technology.
