Dependent demand determination for demand forecasting

Challenge

The aim of demand forecasting is to forecast higher quality components demand overnight via an integrated order and components forecast:

  • Creating planned orders taking into account targets (models and code parts)  and constraints (product description, production order) in the delivery view.
  • Determination of weights for each planned order for targeted achievement of targets (consumption quotas) and consideration of restrictions in the delivery and production view.

Solution

As this is a problem with a large number of variables and constraints, the Column Generation optimization procedure is implemented as a solution.

Benefit

  • Orders and components demands are currently determined overnight within a week. This means a considerable process shortening
  • Suppliers get 2 weeks more lead time
  • Integrated, cross-department processing taking into account the specifications and restrictions of all parties involved
  • Program changes and reallocations are completely preventively safeguarded

More about AI

Consider the scenario of a panel discussion or a question-and-answer session featuring a group of experts in the relevant field. While these participants possess significant knowledge, they may also exhibit a degree of bias due to their established perspectives. Introducing an artificial intelligence (AI) as one of the participants could provide a refreshing dynamic.
