Good forecasting is vital for all business planning. If estimates are too high, a company overproduces goods that cannot be sold. This is unnecessary production and increases costs for resources such as raw materials, workforce, or storage space. On the other hand, underproduction can result in shortages, lost business opportunities, and a potential loss of customers who cannot be served.

摘要

Good forecasting is vital for all business planning. If estimates are too high, a company overproduces goods that cannot be sold. This is unnecessary production and increases costs for resources such as raw materials, workforce, or storage space. On the other hand, underproduction can result in shortages, lost business opportunities, and a potential loss of customers who cannot be served.
