In preparing a projection of a company's future revenues and expenses, a sales forecast must first be prepared. The purpose of business forecasting is to develop a reliable and consistent view of the future, which can be used for the purpose of planning supply chain or sales and operations management. Demand Forecasting, on the other hand, refers to the prediction, projection or estimation of expected demand over a specified future time period. These are twin concepts that often prove to be critical to the fate of a business in the long run.

The first part of this training programme focuses on developing a solid understanding of business and sales forecasting techniques using a proven combination of theories, concepts and hands-on exercises to reinforce the learning. The second part allows participants to apply this knowledge and forecast data. Having attended this programme, participants will be able to go back and make an immediate contribution to their company/business.
