| General Description of Small Number Precision |
|---|
| 1. Many companies have parts and items that sell very small quantities over the course of a year. |
| 2. Peretos law that 20% of the items do 80% of the business has an opposite. |
| 3. 80% of the items do only 20% of the business. This 20% is the hard part. |
| 4. These are the items that create the serious overstocks and these are the items that are difficult to forecast. |
| 5. MyGate Focus Forecasting® handles these small numbers quite a bit better than statistical approaches. |
| Technical Details of Small Number Precision |
|---|
| 1. In the example below , MyGate Focus Forecasting® forecasts 18 for the year. |
| 2. It uses the item's selected curve % monthly distribution to make the monthly forecasts |
| -- but these multiplications result in remainders that must be distributed properly. |
| 3. MyGate Focus Forecasting® sorts the % into descending sequence and adds 1 to each month in this sequence |
| -- until the remainder is consumed. This is small number precision. |
