There are five basic principles of forecasting that Procurement, inventory managers, and manufacturing personnel must remember
• Forecasts are always wrong
• Forecasts must be measured and improved
• Forecasts are more accurate for groups of products, rather than for individual components
• Forecasts are more accurate closer in
• Low-volume or erratic forecasts are most difficult

• For Procurement, primary strategic challenges are– Linking the Procurement strategy tightly to the business
objectives– Developing strategic relationships with suppliers, but
ensuring flexibility in the relationship– Acting as the focal point for the operational process– Defining Procurement as focusing on four key elements

• Supplier Alliances– Traditional long-term buyer/seller relationships– Cross company supplier partnering
• On Site Supplier Programs and Representatives– Facilitates constant communication with key suppliers for high
volume or critical parts– Part management by supplier representative, not company rep
• Kanban/JIT Philosophy Implementation – Positive inventory impact– Frequent repetitive orders– Multiple deliveries just prior to floor use

• Business treats the forecast as reality – not a potential scenario
• Procurement establishes supplier alliances that drive cost reduction through volume, but does not confer with planning
• Procurement does not consider the forecast when negotiating volume commitments
• Manufacturing does not consistently evaluate the use of lean tools in its processes
• Inventory managers do not consult purchasing or manufacturing when planning inventory levels
