Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

What is Forecasting Accuracy? Forecasting accuracy is the process of calculating the accuracy of your inventory demand forecasts by comparing the original forecast with the actual demand for those items. Forecasting accuracy can be affected by ‘outliers’ or ‘fliers’ in the data. An outlier is a data point that is not considered to be part of the overall pattern of demand for a product.

What is Obsolete Stock? Obsolete Stock is a term that refers to inventory that has reached the end of its product life cycle. In this stage of the product life cycle, there is no market demand for the product. Companies that have not accurately forecasted a decline in demand or effectively reduced their stock replenishment policies often times are left with large quantities of obsolete stock in their warehouses.
