Retail — Demand Forecast Scenario Simulation Pipeline

Overview

The Demand Forecast Scenario Simulation Pipeline is designed to enable retailers to simulate different demand scenarios using advanced forecasting models. The primary purpose of this DAG is to allow users to adjust parameters such as promotional activities and seasonal trends, thereby observing their impact on demand forecasts. The pipeline begins with the ingestion of relevant data sources, including historical sales data, promotional calendars, and seasonal trend indicators. These inputs are p

The Demand Forecast Scenario Simulation Pipeline is designed to enable retailers to simulate different demand scenarios using advanced forecasting models. The primary purpose of this DAG is to allow users to adjust parameters such as promotional activities and seasonal trends, thereby observing their impact on demand forecasts. The pipeline begins with the ingestion of relevant data sources, including historical sales data, promotional calendars, and seasonal trend indicators. These inputs are processed through a series of transformation steps, where forecasting algorithms analyze the data and generate simulated demand scenarios. Quality controls are implemented at each stage to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the forecasts. The outputs of this DAG include detailed demand forecasts, scenario analysis reports, and documentation of the simulation parameters for traceability. Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) such as forecast accuracy and scenario impact helps stakeholders assess the effectiveness of their strategies. By leveraging this simulation capability, retailers can optimize inventory levels, improve customer satisfaction, and enhance overall business performance.
