| Abstract: | Forecast accuracy is a major challenge for manufacturing organizations. Forecast error can be a direct cause of stockouts, inventory growth and/of costly changes in the master production schedule. This study examines the effects of institutional factors on forecast accuracy from the perspective of the manufacturing executive. The questions were: who should be involved in forecast preparation, how important is forecast error measurement, and what should the primary purpose of the forecast be? Data were obtained from a sample of manufacturing professionals in the UK. |
