• Improve forecast accuracy and bias through structured analysis, simple diagnostics, and repeatable review routines
• Translate demand forecasts into clear volume and value implications to support rolling forecasts and latest business outlooks
• Manage the full product life cycle, including new product launches, end‑of‑life (EOL) management, SKU harmonization, and rationalization initiatives.
