Managing and improving the forecasting process
Article Abstract:
Identifying the users of the information being forecasted and their corresponding responsibilities is the initial step in improving the process. These data, which will be used to define each forecast's mission, will also be crucial in determining the exact nature of the needed forecast. Close communication between the users and the generators of the forecast is vital not only to ensure the legitimacy of the users but also so that they will be aware of its shortcomings.
