This book represents a new - some may say radical - approach to forecasting. The authors explain how: -- Forecasting less, not more, can yield higher customer service and lower inventories. -- Teamwork, good communications, and clear accountabilities are more important than complex statistical forecasting models, -- It's more beneficial to pursue process improvement than to focus narrowly on forecast accuracy. This is an exciting, new, breakthrough approach to a traditionally difficult and frustrating task.
