Supply Chain Forecasting is a strategic process within supply chain management that involves predicting future demand for products or services to optimize planning and operational decisions. This forward-looking methodology utilizes historical data, statistical analysis, and advanced forecasting techniques to anticipate fluctuations in demand, enabling organizations to align production, inventory, and distribution strategies accordingly.

In the realm of supply chain forecasting, the focus is on achieving accuracy in predicting market trends, consumer behavior, and other variables influencing demand. By leveraging data-driven insights and forecasting models, businesses can make informed decisions regarding procurement, production scheduling, and inventory management.
