The Demand Forecast Performance Monitoring Pipeline is designed to enhance the accuracy of demand forecasts within the high-tech industry by systematically monitoring performance metrics. The primary purpose of this DAG is to ensure that the forecasts generated align closely with actual market demand, thereby optimizing inventory management and reducing costs associated with overstocking or stockouts. The data sources for this pipeline include historical sales data, market trend reports, and competitor analysis metrics. These inputs are ingested through an automated data collection process that ensures timely and accurate data availability. Once ingested, the data undergoes several processing steps. First, the pipeline performs data cleansing to remove any inconsistencies or errors. Next, it calculates key performance indicators (KPIs) such as forecast accuracy and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). Following this, the actual demand data is compared against the forecasts to identify any significant deviations. If deviations exceed predefined thresholds, alerts are generated and sent to relevant teams for in-depth analysis. The results of these analyses are then stored in a centralized database for future reference and reporting. Monitoring KPIs such as forecast accuracy and deviation frequency provides insights into the effectiveness of forecasting methods. The business value derived from this DAG includes improved decision-making, enhanced operational efficiency, and increased customer satisfaction through better alignment of supply with demand.
