1st MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY
DEMAND FORECASTING
Demand
Forecasting
Reviewing & Analyzing historical and realtime sales data seasonal or economic trends
Researching and analyzing internal and
external
demand-influenced factors
=> Proving accurate estimation and prediction of
customers’ demand for future sales preparation.
Use skills & experience, and information
gathered from the product
Quantitative
Methods
Use time series forecasting
data), and analytical tools
predictions for future
(historical
to create
Analyze
customers’
demand
volatility
based on forecasting factors: random
variations, trends, seasonal patterns, and
business cycles.
Qualitative
Methods
Statistical
Forecast
Used when Vinamitaims to
bring its jackfruit chips
widely to new markets
with minimal past data
available to analyze.
Vinamit Demand forecasting case
Main targeted customers: young people and foreign visitors.
The changing in young customers eating traits that increase
packaged food and fruit snacks
The peak time period for tourism and foreign visitors is 6 months (Spring
to Summer)
=> Based on previous young traits changes (historical data), Vinamit forecasts
for increasing jackfruit chips supply in the future periods for 6 months
=> Based on peak time tourism in the past => increasing sales in 6 months
(Spring- Summer)
Increasing demand for tropical fruit snacks in China and Europe since 2018
Their changing eating habits (modern trends) => rising demand for healthier snacking
options in Europe and a decrease in consumption of sweet snacks with high calories.
Tropical fruit chips (jackfruit, banana, pineapple) exported to Europe
increased by 7%.
=> Based on historical data (2018), Vinamit can forecast to increase sales and exporting
volume in thenext period:1-2years.

KPI
accuracy
(FA)
Demand forecasting
Gains
❑
Having
benchmark for Vinamit accurately its
a
predictions for demand and sales.
❑
Be more confident to use the forecasts in reporting and
make the next short-term forecast demand
Forecast accuracy (%) ={1 –[Absolute
value of (Actual sales for time period –
Forecast sales for same time period) /
Actual sales for time period]} x 100
MEANING
Calculate the deviation of the actual
demand from the forecasted demand,
check forecast accuracy before
reporting for plans.
❑
Benchmark
❑
❑
Newly-launch product => Minimal historical
data: Forecast accuracy from 80% => Good
Large variations due to weather, seasonal,
competitor promotion => FA is recommended
from 90-95% for a useful forecasting
Finally, product lines with a long sales history
like dried jackfruit of Vinamit should target an
FA of 90% or better to ensure an exact forecast.
KPI WORKS
Good or not
Forecasting Accuracy (FA) KPI
Shortcomings
❑ Not 100% accuracy
❑ Use to calculate in the short-time period
❑ Easy prone to error when demand fluctuates when the actual sales
are affected by unexpected variations like Covid-19, or economic
crisis.
=> Provides a fragmented, short view of forecasting accuracy in
different periods, difficult to plan for the long term
Recommendation
Have the connection between forecasting accuracy of the
different periods to have a comprehensive view of demand
inlong run.

Demand Planning KPI
Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE)
Forecasting Error = Actual sales –Forecast sales
Mean absolute percentage error = Sum of (Forecast error for the
time period / Actual sales for that period) / Total number of
forecast errors x 100
MEANING
This defines the average of percentage errors (Take
the average of the difference between actual and
forecasted demand as %
❑
Good
❑
❑
The advantage of MAPE is that it relates each forecast error in
different periods to its actual observation.
This accuracy has the advantage of scale
Give a more precise value, take into account every value in list.
