Excess stock ties up capital; stockouts lose sales. This ten-day course teaches inventory and supply chain professionals to apply demand forecasting, safety stock modelling and ABC analysis so inventory decisions rest on data rather than habit or gut feel.
Inventory decisions are ultimately forecasting decisions, and this course treats them as such, working through time-series forecasting methods, seasonality handling and demand variability analysis using realistic sales and stock movement data. Participants learn to distinguish genuine demand signals from noise before committing to reorder points.
The second half applies those forecasts to inventory optimisation directly: safety stock calculations, ABC/XYZ classification, and reorder point modelling, closing with dashboard design so planners can monitor stock health without rebuilding the analysis every cycle.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how data analytics for inventory management and demand forecasting is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for safety stock calculation, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
