A vast majority of companies must invest their cash before they can generate turnover and supply chain with the inventory. The stock policy but also the production policy are indexed to forecasts of future demand. It is, therefore, necessary that the company can as soon as possible have any information for the management of present or future risks on the one hand and value the demand according to the risk. This is the only way to manage performance operationally.
The advanced and continuous detection of forecast errors, very early, sometimes with more than two months in advance, makes it possible to adapt inventories and supplies. This way it is possible to avoid errors of the policy of stock since there is a delay between the start of production, storage period and confirmation of the existence of orders. Knowing real-time forecast errors is the only way to avoid inappropriate supplies, both upwards and downwards.
Reduce your organizational costs intelligently while improving the quality and management of schedules for all functions. Taking into account the possible forms of curves (resulting from the Data Science analysis) and new evaluation tools and tests, it is possible with our unique methods to determine the points of inflection of the trends. Based on this analysis it is then possible to set adaptable inventory levels to an erratic change in demand and correct any errors in advanced time. This means 24/24, 7/7 without waiting for reporting deadlines that are at best 10 days after the end of the month or 1 month after the end of the quarter, where the management system in advanced time recalculates daily the forecasts and updates the forecasts to any deadlines without requiring a considerable work management control. In addition, it gives the Top management including CFO and CMO the tools necessary for decisions without having to wait for the significant delay in the recovery of conventional framework information and thereby quickly benefit the supply chain policy and inventory policy with reduced risks.
The use of Advanced Time Methodologies makes it possible to reduce inventories without losing the possibility of meeting a demand that is higher than expected on the one hand. But also to determine the signals of a change in consumer behavior on the other side. It's the ability to link economic intelligence and marketing and advanced signals of demand. It is also an opportunity to reduce the costs of organization and management control. The Artificial Intelligence analysis detects in real time the links between the evolution of the market, innovation, and competitors with movements felt by the company. Economic intelligence can therefore be directly integrated into the results of the New Management Control. This approach also applies to price strategies, discount for quantity sales, discount or sales.
