Last week we gave a presentation about Flowcasting at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology summer professional development program.

The highlight of the talk was when Andre described how a large US retailer and one of their suppliers was using Flowcasting to manage their business. While we can’t name names, this involves 100 or so items supplied to about 600 stores. Using the Flowcasting process the results to date have been brilliant:

• Shelf availability of 99.9%
• Store inventory turns of 38+
• Planner productivity increase of 30%

Thanks to Professor Jeremy Shapiro and MIT for giving us the opportunity to talk about our passion.
