...One of the most challenging aspects of supply chain is to predict
the future demand. Using data from relevant sources, we can profile customer demands based on historical data and apply predictive analytics approaches to harvest patterns and predict the demand of the future. It allows manufacturers to secure more orders in a leaner and cost-effective environment...
