| Abstract: | This article reports the findings of a study conducted among purchasing personnel in the United States. The objectives were to determine the degree of forecast utilization in purchasing, identify the types of firms utilizing purchasing forecasts, describe the items most commonly forecasted, and identify the forecasting methods used. Forecasting by purchasing was found to be a relatively recent phenomenon. The findings also revealed that purchasing does not take full advantage of the forecasting and forecast improvement techniques available. |
