A Roadmap to Implementing CPFR

For many companies, especially those in the consumer-products industries, formal collaborations with supply-chain partners can mitigate if not prevent miscommunications, misinformation, and missed opportunities in forecasting and fulfilling consumer demand. Jeff and John build on their experience in an implementation of a Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR) process to lay out a roadmap for companies to follow, sidestepping the known hurdles along the route.
