The Supply Demand Forecasting Pipeline is designed to enhance inventory management and supply chain efficiency in the Consumer Products industry. Its primary purpose is to utilize advanced machine learning models to predict product demand accurately. The pipeline ingests various data sources, including historical sales data, promotional activity logs, and seasonal trends. The ingestion process is streamlined to ensure timely data availability for analysis. Once ingested, the data undergoes several processing steps, including data cleaning, feature extraction, and model training. The machine learning models are trained on historical data to identify patterns and predict future demand. Quality controls are implemented throughout the pipeline to ensure data integrity and forecast accuracy. The final outputs include detailed demand forecasts, visualizations displayed on a dashboard, and alerts that notify stakeholders of significant deviations from expected demand. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as forecast accuracy, inventory turnover rates, and stockout occurrences are monitored to assess the effectiveness of the predictions. This pipeline provides substantial business value by enabling proactive inventory management, reducing excess stock, and minimizing stockouts, ultimately leading to improved customer satisfaction and increased revenue.
