In today’s complex business scenario, it’s essential to analyze demand patterns and manage production capacity to avoid out of stock situations. Companies cannot afford to rely on traditional approaches that revolve around the analysis of past demand patterns to plan for future production needs as they do not provide accurate demand forecasts. As such, leveraging analytics-based demand and capacity planning strategies empower businesses to tailor their production capacity to more accurate demand forecasts that account for numerous variables across the supply chain.

The Business Problem: A well-established machine manufacturing company was looking at reducing the percentage error in their demand forecasts by leveraging advanced analytics solutions. The inconsistent nature of their current demand and capacity planning processes curtailed their ability to manage inventory stocks and ensure the ready availability of high-demand products. They wanted to leverage Quantzig’s analytics expertise to tackle this challenge and drive significant improvements in their forecast accuracy.
