FORECASTING & REPLENISHMENT

It sounds simple: Get the right number of items into Walmart when they’re needed, and don’t run out. But it’s become a complicated game, and the rules keep changing. Accurate forecasts are essential to producing purchase orders that support both in-stock and merchandise flow. Replenishment is critical to profitability.

Learn how the sausage gets made — what goes into creating orders, how are modular changes planned, and how is safety stock used.

Leave class with tools for better communication with your replenishment manager. You’ll have a deeper understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the Walmart replenishment team, and walk away with a solid grasp of the prescribed paths for communicating and collaborating with them.

Who should take this class:
Replenishment analysts and managers, forecasting managers, demand planners, allocation managers.
Produce suppliers: This class contains some reports which do not apply to you and which you will be unable to complete.
