What you can predict
One forecast can answer several operational questions.
Link patient volume, procedure schedules, case mix, disease patterns, formulary changes, shelf life, and supplier lead times to future supply requirements.
Item consumption
Stockout probability
Expiration risk
Replenishment requirement
Questions teams need answered
- Which supplies are likely to run short?
- How will the procedure schedule change demand?
- Where is expiration risk building?
- What should be positioned before a demand surge?
Data that can improve the forecast
Start with the history you already have. Add internal or external drivers only when backtesting shows that they improve the forecast on held-out periods.
What-if planning
Test a change before committing to it.
Compare a proposed change with the current baseline. See the expected direction, timing, range, and the assumptions behind the result.
