description of forecasting‚ the science of predicting future events. From an operational point of view‚ market opportunities are the driving force behind production decisions and these opportunities are compiled in the form of demand forecasting which then provides the input for planning production: process design‚ capacity planning‚ aggregate planning‚ scheduling‚ and inventory management. But why forecasting is so important for operations? In order to understand the factors of forecasting‚ one should

“We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child’s spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.” -- Maria Montessori

This act of making such prediction is therefore‚ called forecasting. Forecasts are never finished‚ they are needed continuously and as the time passes‚ their accuracy and their impact on actual performance are meas So it looks like that forecast in itself‚ is not too complicated‚ it becomes complicated once the word ?good? is attached to it. Thus‚ the forecast has to be well thought and planned so it can be called good or adequate forecasting. In order to prepare a forecast‚ one should first identify

Six Rules of Effective Forecasting Q1: Write a summary about the six rules of effective forecasting? Paul Saffo is the author of the article of six rules for effective forecasting. He points out that effective forecasting is very different from accurate forecasting as it is possible that a forecast is effective but it may or may not be accurate. Accurate forecasting entails being unsure of the situation and one should not race to answers. Effective forecasting on the other hand means looking at

Hard Rock Forecasting Forecasting is fundamental to all organization. In the service sector‚ such as restaurants and hotels‚ forecasting is used for their long term‚ intermediate term and short term operation. In the video‚ Hard Rock Café uses forecasting to help them better operate their business. Hard Rock uses forecasting in all their café‚ hotels‚ and night clubs. They use it to forecast the capacity needed for growth per store for long term‚ and determine quantities of items for the intermediate

Abstract The present research paper investigates the IT application of collaborative planning‚ forecasting and replenishment (CPFR). The first part of the paper sets a theoretical framework which initially defines the software use and implementation‚ and then recognizes the key advantages of this particular software. Moreover‚ to be fairly critical some major pitfalls identified by academics and practitioners are also presented. At the end it is up to the individual organization to make their
