1 Planning Demand and Supply in a Supply Chain Forecasing and Aggregae Planning 1

2 Learning Objecives Overview of forecasing Forecas errors Aggregae planning in he supply chain Managing demand Managing capaciy 2

3 Phases of Supply Chain Decisions Sraegy or design: Planning: Operaion Forecas Forecas Acual demand Since acual demands differs from forecass so does he execuion from he plans. E.g. Supply Chain concenraion plans 40 sudens per year whereas he acual is??. 3

4 Characerisics of forecass Forecass are always wrong. Should include expeced value and measure of error. Long-erm forecass are less accurae han shor-erm forecass. Too long erm forecass are useless: Forecas horizon Aggregae forecass are more accurae han disaggregae forecass Variance of aggregae is smaller because exremes cancel ou» Two samples: (3,5) and (2,6). Averages of samples: 4 and 4.» Variance of sample averages=0» Variance of (3,5,2,6)=5/2 Several ways o aggregae Producs ino produc groups Demand by locaion Demand by ime period 4

5 Forecasing Mehods Qualiaive Exper opinion E.g. Why do you lisen o Wall Sree sock analyss? Time Series Saic Adapive Causal Forecas Simulaion for planning purposes 5

6 Componens of an observaion Observed demand (O) = Sysemaic componen (S) + Random componen (R) Level (curren deseasonalized demand) Trend (growh or decline in demand) Seasonaliy (predicable seasonal flucuaion) 6

7 Time Series Forecasing Quarer Demand D II, III, IV, I, II, III, IV, I, II, III, IV, I, Forecas demand for he nex four quarers. 7

11 Maser Producion Schedule Volume Firm Orders Forecass Frozen Zone Flexible Zone Time MPS is a schedule of fuure deliveries. A combinaion of forecass and firm orders. 11

12 Aggregae Planning If acual is differen han plan, why boher sweaing over deailed plans Aggregae planning: General plan Combined producs = aggregae produc» Shor and long sleeve shirs = shir Single produc Pooled capaciies = aggregaed capaciy» Dedicaed machine and general machine = machine Single capaciy Time periods = ime buckes» Consider all he demand and producion of a given monh ogeher Quie a few ime buckes When does he demand or producion ake place in a ime bucke? 12

13 Fundamenal radeoffs in Aggregae Planning Capaciy (regular ime, over ime, subconrac) Invenory Backlog / los sales: Cusomer paience? Basic Sraegies Chase (he demand) sraegy; fas food resaurans Time flexibiliy from workforce or capaciy; machining shops, army Level sraegy; swim wear 13
