Forecasting

Forecasting is probably the most disliked - and hence neglected - task within Supply Chain Planning.

Without the proper tools, it can be highly time consuming - as well as de-motivating when the results are far from the expectations.

Yet the true cost of poor forecasts is enormous! Aside from the financial costs of producing too much of the wrong item, having to expedite to fill shortages, writing off obsolete stock, having frustrated customers take their business elsewhere - the human aspects of staff wasting time on unnecessary administration and the risk of inter-departmental friction are all too real.

Inventory Management

The setting of stock levels that balance cost and availability is an extremely complex task - one where the large number of related variables to be considered is all to often over whelming and users are forced to adopt simplistic blanket rules.

Yet all this can be avoided - without the expense of implementing software on site.

ASC Software, with its world class VIA package can undertake your company Forecasting and Inventory Analysis for you on a secure bureau basis.
