ForecastingForecasting
In the supply chain context is the art and
science of predicting a future demand.
A planning tool that helps management in
its attempts to cope with the uncertainty
of the future, relying mainly on data from
the past and present and analysis of
trends.
Forecasting starts with certain
assumptions based on the management's
experience, knowledge, and judgment.

Role of Forecasting in a Supply ChainRole of Forecasting in a Supply Chain
andand Demand PlanningDemand Planning
The basis for all strategic and planning
decisions in a supply chain
Used for both push and pull processes
Examples:
◦ Production: scheduling, inventory, aggregate
planning
◦ Marketing: sales force allocation, promotions,
new production introduction
◦ Finance: plant/equipment investment,
budgetary planning
◦ Personnel: workforce planning, hiring, layoffsProf.Ramachandran, CIMAT

Characteristics of ForecastsCharacteristics of Forecasts
Forecasts are always wrong. Should
include expected value and measure of
error.
Long-term forecasts are less accurate than
short-term forecasts (forecast horizon is
important)
Aggregate forecasts are more accurate
than disaggregate forecasts
It’s an Integral Part of Decision Making.

Forecasting MethodsForecasting Methods
Qualitative: primarily subjective; rely on
judgment and opinion
Time Series: use historical demand only
◦ Static
◦ Adaptive
Causal: use the relationship between
demand and some other factor to develop
forecast
Simulation-Imitate consumer choices that
give rise to demand Can combine time
series and causal methods

SCM PLANNINGSCM PLANNING
Demand Planning
Aggregate Planning
Replenishment Planning
Purchase Planning

 Demand forecasting: The creation of a projection for
unconstrained demand for a product or service over time
 Demand planning: The development of a forecast that
reflects known constraints and any possible associated
impacts that may occur as a result of external events,
capacity (either production or logistics) or changing
priorities
 Demand management: Influencing demand via the
addition (or cancellation) of activity, the increasing or
reduction of price, or the rationing or allocation of stock.

Basic Approach to DemandBasic Approach to Demand
ForecastingForecasting
Understand the objectives of forecasting
Integrate demand planning and forecasting
Identify major factors that influence the
demand forecast
Understand and identify customer
segments
Determine the appropriate forecasting
technique
Establish performance and error measures
for the forecast

Demand PlanningDemand Planning
Demand planning is a multi-step
operational supply chain management
(SCM) process used to create reliable
forecasts. Effective demand planning can
guide users to improve the accuracy of
revenue forecasts, align inventory levels
with peaks and troughs in demand, and
enhance profitability for a given channel
or product.

Steps in Demand PlanningSteps in Demand Planning
Importing historical sales data
Creating statistical forecasts
Collaborating with customers
Managing forecasts
Building consensus forecasts
Supply and demand collaboration
Confirmation with customers
Re-examining data and adjusting planning
accordingly.

Purchasing:Purchasing:
Function of buying Goods & Services
from External Source to an Organisation
Main Activity in Area of Material
management.
first element which affects the product
cost

Objectives Of PurchasingObjectives Of Purchasing
ManagementManagement
 To purchase the required material at minimum possible
price by following the company policies. to keep
department expenses low.
 Development of good & new vendors(suppliers).
 Development of good relation with the existing
suppliers. training & development of personal
employees in department.
 To maintain proper & up to date records of all
transactions.
 Participating in development of new material and
products. to contribute in product improvement. to
take Economic "MAKE OR BUY" decisions.

Principles Of PurchasingPrinciples Of Purchasing
ManagementManagement
Buying Material at right QUALITY.
In the right QUANTITY.
From the right SOURCE.
At the right PRICE.
Delivered at the right PLACE.
At the right TIME.
With right mode of TRANSPORT.

Make or Buy DecisionMake or Buy Decision
Outsourcing is closely related to make or
buy decision. The corporations made
decisions on what to make internally and
what to buy from outside in order to
maximize the profit margins.

The volume
The fixed cost of making
Per-unit direct cost when making
Per-unit cost when buying

FormulaFormula
Cost to Buy (CTB) = Volume x Per-unit
cost when buying
Cost to Make (CTM) = Fixed costs +
(Per-unit direct cost x volume)

Reasons for MakingReasons for Making
Cost concerns
Desire to expand the manufacturing focus
Need of direct control over the product
Intellectual property concerns
Quality control concerns
Supplier unreliability
To maintain a backup source
Political and environment reasons
Organizational pride
Reduction of logistic costs (shipping etc.)

Reasons for BuyingReasons for Buying
Lack of technical experience
Supplier's expertise on the technical
areas and the domain
Cost considerations
Need of small volume
Insufficient capacity to produce in-house
Brand preferences
Strategic partnerships

Cost management is the process of
planning and controlling the budget of a
business.
Cost management is a form of
management accounting that allows a
business to predict impending
expenditures to help reduce the chance
of going over budget.
