  • As the EMS virtual supply chain increases in complexity, EMS need to effectively collaborate across their virtual supply chain to accurately forecast, plan and respond quickly to the ever changing market demands, without increasing working capital and costs. They need to collect and reconcile demand planning information from diverse sources, different internal and external groups to come up with a single statement of demand. Different forecasting methods such as statistical or causal as well as composite forecasting, can be combined with web-based collaboration processes to efficiently agree on a single forecast.
