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What is Obsolete Stock?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.
