Program Overview: What is AI-Driven Demand Forecasting?
AI-Driven Demand Forecasting is a 24-hour instructor-led program for supply chain and planning teams who want AI to improve forecast accuracy. It covers demand signals and data readiness, statistical and machine learning forecasting methods, demand sensing and AI-driven replenishment, and forecast governance. The program closes with a production forecasting deployment capstone.
Training is hands-on from day one: briefings introduce each concept, then guided labs have your team cleaning sales history, building and backtesting models, tuning without overfitting, and sensing short-term demand from live signals. Instructors coach through each build, giving feedback on model choices and accuracy trade-offs. Every technique is practiced before the next is introduced. The final module is a 5-hour capstone where teams build, deploy, and present a complete forecasting pipeline.
Teams that rely on spreadsheets and gut feel face stockouts, excess inventory, and forecasts nobody trusts. The program teaches them to engineer demand features, choose and tune the right models, and wire forecasts into S&OP cycles with shared accuracy standards. The result is forecasts the business can defend and plan against.
They ship a complete forecasting pipeline, raw data to deployed forecast, and defend every choice in instructor review. Planners get forecasts they can trust, and the team keeps the pipeline design to build on.
Six modules and 24 hours: forecasting foundations, statistical and ML methods, hands-on model labs, demand sensing and replenishment, forecast governance and S&OP integration. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a capstone build the team plans, models, reviews, and presents.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab guides included for every participant.
