Forecasters and planners are involved in decision making, but make limited decisions with direct business impact themselves. A forecast is an insight or a foresight, a plan is an intent. A decision is only made when resources are irrevocably allocated to the execution of the decision. Without this, multiple forecast and planning options – as advanced as they may be – remain calculations, maybe insights or, at best, recommendations.

Introduction I was recently in a conversation about forecasting with a client team, and one individual, whose background was not in supply chain, asked what the value of demand forecasting is. The answer may seem obvious to supply chain professionals, but it’s worth taking a step back and thinking about how to answer this. Of all the most common metrics used to measure supply chain performance, forecast accuracy is the most difficult for colleagues outside of the supply chain function to relate

Many will react, as the sector has done for decades, by beating down suppliers on price. All this does though is bounce the problem around the supply chain. It drains suppliers of the resources they need to deliver vital enhancements – including supplies, information, and ideas – without which, brands are less competitive.

Responding without the ability to Predict is Ineffective Supply chain leaders deploy prediction strategies to respond better and faster. For example, extra inventory is kept in case an unexpected order from a high priority customer arrives. Without that inventory, your response would be very limited or perhaps none at all.

A transportation management system ( TMS ) helps companies move freight from origin to destination efficiently, reliably, and cost-effectively. The primary reason companies buy a TMS is for freight savings. These freight savings can be attributed to simulation and network design, load consolidation and lower cost mode selections, and multi-stop route optimization.
