How to adapt to change?
With market dynamics and customer service expectations on the rise, forecasting is the key to improving profitability and meeting customer demands. Today there are tools that allow taking variables from the internal and external environment of the company that help in demand planning. Using machine learning, and artificial intelligence to provide a unique demand projection with calculated business impact and risk, allowing a better understanding of your drivers and customer behavior.
Demand planning and forecasting methods are only part of the process that leads to better decisions. Not having the right tools and the right strategic technology partners has negative effects on the supply chain infrastructure.
Problems such as: out-of-stock, low inventory turnover, opportunity costs, and uncertainty in strategic decisions are the most common problems faced by companies that do their demand planning manually.
That said, it is important as a first step to drive the culture of change and the use of technology within the company. It is important to show supply teams the potential of some tools in the market that will make their work more efficient. Helping them to perform less and less operational tasks, and focusing them on being part of the planning and strategy.
