The late Thomas Samuel Kuhn, an American philosopher of science, introduced the term “paradigm shift” in his 1962 The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. The term caught on.

Your ship’s come in! That’s a good thing, right? Much of the merchandise languishing aboard cargo ships stuck in ports around the world during the pandemic-fueled supply chain crisis has made it to store shelves. No doubt this brings some mirth and merriment in an otherwise bleak stretch for consumers, but it also brings a massive migraine for retailers.

One of my favorite movies is Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. It was a drama that had some very comedic moments. In one segment, Robin Hood had a not too friendly run in with Friar Tuck. After a slight skirmish, he convinced him to join his merry band to impart some spiritual guidance. Now as it turned out, the friar had an even greater love than the divine.

This needs to change. Modern forecasts concern small quantities on a disaggregated level such as product-location-day. For such granular forecasts, MAPE values are extremely hard to judge and thereby disqualify as useful forecast quality indicators.
