Forecasting in dell company

/in /by

What role does forecasting play in the Supply chain of a build to order server manufacturer such as Dell?

With a build-to-order system, companies like Dell usually have significantly less time to respond to customers than it takes to transport components from the suppliers to its assembly plants. Dell builds to order but still relies much on forecasting to predict future demand and determine the quantity of each component that is needed to assemble a PC as well as the plant capacity that may be required to perform the assembly. Dell obtains server components in anticipation of customer orders and therefore they rely on forecasting. To help suppliers make good ordering decisions, Dell shares its forecasts with them once per month (Kapuscinski et al., 2004. These forecasts are generated by Dell’s line of the business marketing department. They also reflect the seasonality in sales.

Mapping Consensus

This is intended to convey a concept and have each prospective customer detail all activities, possibilities, and recommendations related to that idea.

To assist define the best proposals, the product developer gathers all of the ideas and plots out tasks and timeframes.

 

Technique of Delphi

To determine the validity of an idea, this is a systematic forecasting process that relies on the opinions of independent experts. This method has helped me determine the viability of a suggested idea in a certain industry on numerous occasions.

 

Evaluation of the Idea Checklist

This is a strategy for evaluating an idea by asking a series of precise questions about the idea and market. For a great checklist of new product considerations, go to Princeton Creative Research.

 

Perform a cost-benefit analysis.

This is another strategy I’ve used with innovators who are weighing numerous options.

This is a cost analysis to see if the project should be pursued.

 

The proponent of New Concepts

This strategy is based on the adage that “two heads are better than one.” You present several ideas to various groups and ask them to vote on the best ideas to pursue based on unique characteristics and interests. If you have multiple ideas that you want to present to a focus group to pique their interest and perception, this is a wonderful method to use.

 

Tree of Decisions

This is a tool for graphing alternative decisions and consequences between different activities to determine which actions have the best chance of succeeding given the available resources, cost, and time.

 

Repetition of the Awareness Trial and Availability

This is used at all stages of product development, but it’s most useful when evaluating a product’s market before it’s launched.

 

Reasons:

  • To assist you in making important decisions.
  • To stay away from major blunders.
  • To demonstrate the business’s feasibility.
  • To better define goals and benchmarks.
  • To obtain funding.
