What I Learned
• The best company at inventory management is
not the best at forecasting.
• Forecast consensus is eroding the forecast in
four out of five companies.
• Alignment between demand and supply planners
is more difficult in larger companies.
• Forecast error at the DC level is high.
• Planning processes are evolving.
