The Risk
One of the biggest risks facing global manufacturing businesses is the failure to predict and manage demand accurately. This leads to a number of supply-side problems such as stock mismanagement, poor customer service, inaccurate capacity planning and the inability to balance demand and supply on a global scale.
The diversity of the problems facing an organisation and the volume of data that needs to be synthesised is enormous. For example, your marketing department may be launching a new product in multiple territories, sales are showing unexpected fluctuations, cash flow and stock levels are concerning the Finance Director and key operational assets require maintenance.
