Where Should We Place the Forecasting Function?”
One way to make that determination is to see where different companies have their forecasting function. The figure below can give you an idea, which is based on the survey data of 2008 conducted by the Institute of Business Forecasting and Planning – IBF. (Data are of all the industries combined). It shows that a large percentage of companies have their function in the supply chain (35% = 26% + 9%), followed by Sales (16%) and independent forecasting department (14%). I have been watching the survey data for the last eight years. Two things I have noticed. One, more and more companies are moving their forecasting function to the supply chain probably since this is where operational forecasts are used most. Two, more and more companies are moving their forecasting function away from Finance. The percentage of companies having their function in Finance has declined from 14% in 2001 to 7% in 2008.
