Abstract : Managing uncertainty and risk in extended supply chains starts with sound forecasting. Building on fundamental research on forecasting and inventory planning, and applied studies with numerous organisations, this seminar examines how forecast errors create operational and financial risks and how these can be quantified and mitigated. By integrating statistical and judgmental forecasting with planning decisions, I show how disciplined forecasting transforms uncertainty into actionable insights, enabling more resilient and evidence-based supply-chain management.
