Ultriva Suggests High Margin Products Starting Points for Demand Driven Supply Chain Examination

 

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2015 -- It may not be possible for manufacturers to adopt a demand-driven approach with every product at the same time. It may make more sense to segment your products to identify the ones that would have the most impact right away. This might include products with the highest margins, shortest shelf life or in the early stages of the product life cycle. By focusing on high impact items first, the benefit of a demand-driven supply chain can be felt quickly. This is one of many features appearing in Forecast Errors Newsletter. Each week features two to four topics.

Forecast Errors, a weekly e-newsletter, sponsored by Ultriva, Inc. shares methods, modes, and tools used to inform Manufacturers' of Forecast Errors that they face on the manufacturing floor, and with a variety of supply chain industries. The newsletter explores forecast errors as the difference between the actual and predicted value. In the current issue, Forecast Errors argued that what separates best-in-class companies from those that struggle with accuracy is how they root out (and learn from) forecasting errors.

A forecast error is the difference between the actual and predicted value. The consequences are expensive inefficiencies that can be resolved with lean manufacturing technology.
