Demand Forecasting

Demand planners manage hundreds or thousands of SKUs, but forecast accuracy varies widely across product families, and the statistical methods used in planning systems are rarely transparent to the people running the S&OP process. Seasonal patterns, promotional events, and new product introductions are typically adjusted manually, and forecast error is reviewed monthly rather than in time to adjust production schedules or procurement before the impact hits the plant floor.

Lumina Analyst
Which product families have the worst forecast accuracy and what is driving it?

Family D and Family G carry the highest error at 31% and 27% MAPE, and for both the bias is promotional: forecasts ignore the lift from end-of-quarter campaigns, under-predicting actuals by 22% in promo weeks. Add an explicit promo-lift adjustment for those two families to cut their MAPE to an estimated 15% and stabilize the production plan.
