Featured Content: Industry Forecasting and Market Share Modeling White Paper by Mark Chockalingam, Ph.D. Forecasting in a best practice environment is a closed-loop process. The consensus forecast is the combined effort of Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Operations Planning.In this session, we will examine how Market Research is a significant influence in forecasting. In the Strategic Forecast process, We incorporate the effects of changes in Market share, consumption patterns, and inventory cycles. Inventory cycle is defined as the trend to accumulate or reduce inventory. Demand is modeled as the change in inventory at retail plus retail consumption. In the planning process, this model helps us plan our promotional spend in the context of market trends and developments and also monitor inventory risk at the trade.
