Demand forecasting is a crucial aspect of business operations. It enables organizations to predict customer demand for their products or services and optimize inventory, production and supply chain management. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have gained tremendous popularity and have been used extensively in demand forecasting. Organizations that integrate this technology into their operations can improve efficiency, achieve better accuracy and improve costs.

Benefits of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Demand Forecasting

 

Challenges with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Demand Forecasting

• Data Quality – The accuracy of AI and ML models is heavily dependent on the quality of the data used to train them. Inaccurate or incomplete data can lead to inaccurate predictions, which can be detrimental to business operations.
• Complexity – Implementing AI and ML models can be complex and resource-intensive, necessitating the hiring of specialized professionals like data scientists and ML engineers, as well as substantial computational resources, potentially incurring high costs for organizations.
• Interpretability – ML and AI models, often termed “black boxes” due to their complexity, can identify intricate patterns that are not easily understood by humans, posing challenges in interpreting their predictions, which can be a substantial barrier to adoption, particularly in highly regulated industries.
