Where a forecast manager can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a forecast manager already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Forecast managers have a deep understanding of the operations of the company, the inventory levels, production batches, requirements and costs of production per product, and trends in the demand levels. They use all that information in combination with forecasting software in order to define production orders aiming for the most efficient production combinations.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a forecast manager already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
