    DEMAND FORECASTING The Context of Demand Forecasting The Importance of Demand Forecasting Forecasting product demand is crucial to any supplier, manufacturer, or retailer. Forecasts of future demand will determine the quantities that should be purchased, produced, and shipped. Demand forecasts are necessary since the basic operations process, moving from the suppliers' raw materials to finished goods in the customers' hands, takes time. Most firms cannot simply wait for demand to emerge and then react to it. Instead, they must anticipate and plan for future demand so that they can react immediately to customer orders as they occur. In other words, most manufacturers "make to stock" rather than "make to order" – they plan ahead and then deploy inventories of finished goods into field locations. Thus, once a customer order materializes, it can be fulfilled immediately – since most customers are not willing to wait the time it would take to actually process their order throughout the supply chain and make the product based on their order. An order cycle could take weeks or months to go back through part suppliers and sub-assemblers, through manufacture of the product, and through to the eventual shipment of the order to the customer. Firms that offer rapid delivery to their customers will tend to force all competitors in the market to keep finished good inventories in order to provide fast order cycle times. As a result, virtually every organization involved needs to manufacture or at least order parts based on a forecast of future demand. The ability to accurately forecast demand also affords the firm opportunities to control costs through leveling its production quantities, rationalizing its transportation, and generally planning for efficient logistics operations. In general practice, accurate demand forecasts lead to efficient operations and high levels of customer service, while inaccurate forecasts will inevitably lead to inefficient, high cost operations and/or…

    The study of macroeconomics demonstrates how individuals purchase, sell, and use raw materials to drive the economy around the globe. A useful source of data could be attained from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) where a person could gather current or historic data. After the collection of the data a researcher could utilize the International Monetary Funds website to see a forecast of any certain country. On the IMF website there are several choices for data such as International Financial Statics, Principal Global Indicators, and World Economic Outlook Databases. This informational data is useful for the inflation of good and services, tracking the market value of goods and services (gross domestic product), and other macroeconomic indicators for more than 200 countries.…
