Inventory Forecasting

Inventory forecasting is an important process in packaging, it involves predicting future inventory requirements based on historical data, market trends, and various analytical methods. Inventory forecasting helps businesses anticipate demand, manage stock levels, and avoid overstocking and stockouts, which can be costly and disruptive.

Accurate inventory forecasting allows packaging companies to streamline their supply chain operations. By predicting the demand for packaging materials and finished products, companies can optimise production schedules, reduce holding costs, and improve customer satisfaction. Various methods, such as time-series analysis, causal models, and qualitative techniques, are used to generate reliable forecasts.

In packaging, inventory forecasting is important due to the fluctuating demand driven by seasonality, promotional activities, and market trends. Effective forecasting allows companies to maintain the right balance of materials and products, ensuring they can promptly meet customer needs without excessive inventory costs.
