In my last article , I introduced Deloitte’s supply chain survey report and shared Deloitte’s concept of what it takes to be a supply chain Leader.

It was the end of a long day. My feet were tired, and I was glad to find a quiet stool in the corner of the conference center. As I curled up my legs and kicked off my shoes revealing one of those inevitable conference blisters from high heels, I reflected. Conference speaking takes a lot out of me. My hand was enjoying the warmth from the porcelain coffee cup and I was loving the solitude when a supply chain leader approached me with a cup of tea in his hand.

Forecasting is a challenge for many companies. The accuracy leaves a lot to be desired, resulting in interference or ‘noise’ in the communication between the Sales and Operations Planning departments.
