Operational Impact
Enables planning for best- and worst-case scenarios as well as the standard forecast, enabling the company to respond more effectively to normal demand fluctuation as well as emerging situations such as the 2011 Japanese tsunami. | |
Provides support for different types of business decisions: the six-month forecast helps to plan routes for individual vessels, while the 12-month and five-year forecasts help with capacity planning (for example, whether to charter or build new vessels). | |
Increases flexibility for meeting new business requirements: for example, the company was recently able to move to a rolling forecast with minimal effort. | |
