The Consumer Products Demand Forecasting Pipeline is designed to accurately predict the demand for consumer goods, thereby optimizing inventory levels and improving supply chain efficiency. This DAG ingests a variety of data sources, including historical sales records, promotional activity data, and external variables such as weather conditions. The data is first normalized and validated to ensure accuracy and consistency, which is critical for reliable forecasting. Following this, advanced demand forecasting models are applied to generate predictions based on the processed data. The results are then published to a data warehouse, enabling further analysis and reporting. To maintain data integrity, quality control measures are implemented throughout the process, including anomaly detection alerts that notify stakeholders of any discrepancies. Key performance indicators (KPIs) monitored within this pipeline include Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and service level rates, which provide insights into forecasting accuracy and operational performance. The business value of this DAG lies in its ability to enhance inventory management, reduce stockouts, and improve overall customer satisfaction by aligning supply with actual demand.
