Forecasting Requirements Sales Procurement Reporting

Sales Forecasting Evaluating demand for a period Several methodologies Common theme – Baseline +/- Trend – Perspective/Context

Context/Perspective Current/Future – Events – Ads – Distribution – Price/Promotions

Baseline/Trend Comparison across years Trends – Multiple – Formula – Profile

Procurement Quantity and timing of purchases to achieve target inventory levels Many constraints: – Production schedule – Supplier Days of Inventory – Storage Capacity – “Sell from” warehouse – Desired Min/Max levels – WOQs – Changing Dates and Quantities on Pos.

Reporting Forecasting Performance – Original/Modified/Locked – Sales vs. forecast
