What is Blue Yonder Statistical Forecasting for Manufacturing?
Statistical Forecasting for Manufacturing produces robust baselines for parts and finished goods using proven methods (e. g., exponential smoothing, ARIMA, Croston-style for intermittent demand). It segments items by behavior (stable, seasonal, lumpy), auto-selects the best model, and rolls forecasts through multi-level BOMs to support MPS/MRP. Accuracy/bias governance and scenario tools help planners adjust for engineering changes, supplier risk, or program ramps, so production and procurement start from a credible signal.
