If your experience is that the market you are working on is arbitrary, it is important that you know – economic markets are being conducted in a very orderly and very systematic way and all you need to do is find the systematic method of your particular market so that you can manage it effectively and efficiently that will lead to a lateral improvement in all of your business performance ranging from the service level to the bottom line of your business. Purchase forecasts are a great example of an administrative logistics tool based on market systematic and can make a significant change to the best of your overall business behavior.
What exactly is purchase forecasts?
To explain exactly what a purchase forecast is and how it affects your business, you will be helped by a characteristic example. As part of your business activities, you can order a particular raw material from a particular supplier. In your conduct against the same doubt, you are periodically encountering significant delays in the delivery time, in a way that significantly harms your ability to complete the production and marketing process for stores. All you know is that it happens periodically, but if your entire procurement activity in front of that provider was documented in a dedicated computer system, you could find it always happens that time of year. Now that you have found the systematic, you can make the reservation from the same provider while before it reaches the same period of the year. Another example comes from the demand – through software that has acquired purchase forecasts, you can understand that in February, May, October and December, the demand for your particular product will come to a climax. Depending on this information, the system builds an automatic purchase forecast for you and allows you to order all the inputs you need to meet the demand effectively, even before it occurs.
Purchase forecasts are in fact a logistical management tool that allows you to predict the market conditions on the side of the supply or from demand, and accordingly build your procurement program for components, raw materials and inputs so that you can always produce the required supply to provide a full response to the market’s demand. These forecasts can be performed, barely, manually for a small business, but when the company is a manufacturer with a complex supply chain, only a computerized system can provide you with the data and the analysis capabilities required to produce effective purchasing forecasts.
