Inventory · Definition
Estimating future demand to plan purchasing and stock levels.
Demand forecasting projects how much of each item you will need, using sales history, seasonality, trend and known events such as promotions or tenders. It converts the past into a purchasing plan.
No forecast is right, so the useful measure is forecast error and how you buffer against it. A modest forecast plus honest safety stock beats an elaborate model treated as truth.
