  • Extrapolate that data & analysis into key factors that impact the forecast, and improve the model based on that analysis to improve accuracy.
  • Understand long-term supply chain dynamics and optimize forecast.
  • Unlocking new (external) data sources to improve forecast.
  • Provide weekly reporting to management and perform occasional deep dive analyses as required.
