Editor’s Note: Two years ago we posted a blog about how to set an annual forecast accuracy target and it was one of our most popular topics. As we approach that time of year again, we decided to run an updated version. Many companies have already started their 2019 planning and budgeting cycles, so if you are in charge of demand forecasting for your company, it’s about time to thinking about your organization's 2019 goals.

The capacity crunch has been a core concern of shippers for several years, but as 2018 draws closer to the holiday shopping season, it will become a bigger problem. LTL capacity has routinely been used as a source of added capacity when full truckload becomes unavailable. Unfortunately, the worsening of the driver shortage is pushing more full truckload carriers to turn existing trucks into LTL space.

Eight years ago yesterday I began my career as an entrepreneur. I spent the day (and the next three weeks) as a juror in a murder trial. Better than being the defendant, I told myself, but when you have bills to pay and no longer have a paycheck, sitting in a courthouse looking at crime scene photos was not the beginning I had imagined. Actually, none of this journey has been as I imagined.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for your job. At least that is the dire warning you often read or hear about in today’s media. More and more, however, analysts believe AI is more likely to be a collaborative co-worker than an outright replacement employee. While that may sound like good news, if you plan on working in the decades ahead, don’t become complacent.

Procurement and supply chain leaders have faced their share of disruption and economic turmoil these past four years. Whether from geopolitical tensions or the havoc caused by the pandemic and its aftershocks, plenty of challenges remain. Despite this, leaders are seeing a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel — inflation is decreasing, interest rates are leveling off and supply chain volatility is easing.

When it comes to outsourcing certain parts of your logistics and fulfillment, you have a lot to choose from. When it comes to others, it’s a different story. For instance, with parcel carriers your company is pretty well locked into working with UPS, FedEx, DHL or the USPS. But thankfully that doesn’t mean you have to be equally locked into using these carriers’ published rates.
