Supply chain forecasting: Theory, practice, their gap and the future
Supply Chain Forecasting (SCF) goes beyond the operational task of extrapolating demand requirements at one echelon. It involves complex issues such as supply chain coordination and sharing of information between multiple stakeholders. Academic research in SCF has tended to neglect some issues that are important in practice. In areas of practical relevance, sound theoretical developments have r...
متن کاملForecasting for Supply Chain and Portfolio Management
Material imbalances at some companies have been traced to the procedures they use for forecasting demand based on the usual normality assumption. In this paper we discuss a simple and easy to implent nonparametric technique to forcast the demand distribution based on statistical learning, and ordering policies based on it, that are giving satisfactory results at these companies. We also discuss...
متن کاملIrrigation Water Pricing in Iran: The Gap between Theory and Practice
Pricing policies play an important role in water demand management and its optimal allocation. Determining proper water price leads to optimal allocation of water especially in agricultural consumptions. Applying new subsidy targeting law in Iran which insists on pricing water based on its supply cost, will effects considerably on water resource management in agriculture sector. So, in this stu...
متن کاملOn Health Policy and Management (HPAM): Mind the Theory-Policy-Practice Gap
We argue that the field of Health Policy and Management (HPAM) ought to confront the gap between theory, policy, and practice. Although there are perennial efforts to reform healthcare systems, the conceptual barriers are considerable and reflect the theory-policy-practice gap. We highlight four dimensions of the gap: 1) the dominance of microeconomic thinking in health policy analysis and desi...
متن کاملDemand Forecasting Optimization in Supply Chain
To deal with the low accuracy of demand forecasting in supply chain, this paper uses the genetic algorithm to estimate the developing coefficient and the control variable of the GM(1,1) model and predicts the demand of every level in supply chain with this forecasting model, then uses a negotiation algorithm based on game theory to optimize the demand forecast when demand forecast disruption oc...
