Director of Thought Leadership to Present Session "Is Forecasting Fatally Flawed?"
Ottawa, Canada - Kinaxis, provider of the on-demand supply chain management (SCM) and sales and operations planning (S&OP) software service, RapidResponse(TM), today announced that Trevor Miles, director of thought leadership at Kinaxis, will be presenting at the High-Tech Forecasting & Planning Summit taking place on April 14-15, 2011 in San Francisco.
Event Details:
The High-Tech Forecasting & Planning Summit brings together forward-thinking business leaders to spark innovation in forecasting and planning within the High-Tech industry.
Trevor Miles will be presenting the session, "Is Forecasting Fatally Flawed?"
In a dynamic market with lots of volatility, the forecast will always be inaccurate. With that in mind, the question is: where should one spend time and effort? In making the forecast as accurate as possible and forever analyzing why the results didn't match? Or in accepting the uncertainty and establishing a capacity to respond quickly and effectively? Forecasting is important, but there needs to be equal emphasis on how to address unanticipated demand. This session will discuss how and why companies should adopt continuous and collaborative S&OP processes to best satisfy demand profitability while providing high customer service.
