    About this ebook

    Do you use any information system for forecasting, and inventory management?

    Does the sales forecasting system receive demand information directly from customers?

    Has marketing and forecasting activity accurately predicted the nature and level of demand?

    How accurate are exponential smoothing methods when forecasting short term demand?

    How can the use of chaos theory be blended with conventional forecasting methods?

    Is there any difference when forecasting the demand for existing parts and new parts?

    Should other supply chain members be involved in a collaborative forecasting effort?

    What are useful criteria for classifying parts with respect to demand forecasting?

    What do you anticipate would be the main benefits of better forecasting within your organization?

    What is the source of the projected growth numbers used for forecasting?

    This Forecasting Guide is unlike books you're used to. If you're looking for a textbook, this might not be for you. This book and its included digital components is for you who understands the importance of asking great questions. This gives you the questions to uncover the Forecasting challenges you're facing and generate better solutions to solve those problems.

    Unless you're talking a one-time, single-use project, there should be a process. That process needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

    This Self-Assessment empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Forecasting investments work better.

    This Forecasting All-Inclusive Self-Assessment enables You to be that person.

    INCLUDES all the tools you need to an in-depth Forecasting Self-Assessment. Featuring new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core levels of Forecasting maturity, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Forecasting improvements can be made.

    In using the questions you will be better able to:

    Diagnose Forecasting projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices.

    Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals.

    Integrate recent advances in Forecasting and process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines.

    Using the Self-Assessment tool gives you the Forecasting Scorecard, enabling you to develop a clear picture of which Forecasting areas need attention.

    Your purchase includes access to the Forecasting self-assessment digital components which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool that enables you to define, show and lead your organization exactly with what's important.
