End-to-End Supply Chain Transformation Based on Demand Model

This copyrighted case* received Second Place for in the CSCMP 2015 Supply Chain Innovation Award™.Unlike most companies, which rely on over-simplified, top-down forecasts based on highly aggregated historical data to drive targets, this innovative approach to supply chain planning and demand modeling uses advanced analytical techniques to accurately model and forecast demand in an extremely complex and unpredictable business environment--using machine learning to adapt and automatically fine tune the analysis to better distinguish between ‘signal’ and ‘noise’. What’s more, this unique approach uses a single system and demand model both for intermittent finished goods and parts, and provides end-to-end visibility to the entire supply chain (from stores to the manufacturing plants and upstream suppliers) with all activities synchronized to a common demand signal--driven by detailed, bottom-up forecasts for every SKU at every location.Please note: Case study fees are nonrefundable.*© 2015 Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP).
