A One of a Kind JBF issue, POS/ Consumption Based Demand Planning and Forecasting

Approaching our 30^th year Anniversary for the Journal of Business Forecasting, the Special POS and Syndicated Data Winter 08-09 issue will be one that is both unique and is held dear to the editor’s heart. It has been a long time in the making, recruiting authors from well known companies and experts in the area, that cover soup-nuts on POS/ Consumption based demand planning and forecasting. The issue covers how Big Box Retailers are benefiting from sharing their POS data with their suppliers and how the landscape of forecasting has changed greatly from Silo forecasting to Collaboration, Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR). We also discover real world experiences and lessons learned from authors representing Nestle as well as Osram Sylvania. The issue will hit the shelves in January 2009, and reservations can be placed by contacting The Institute of Business Forecasting and Planning (IBF) at www.ibf.org, 516.504.7576 or info@ibf.org
