Forecasting Algorithms

Modern inventory forecasting systems were built for a world where supply was assumed to be stable, predictable, and continuously available. That world no longer exists.

Geopolitical instability, sanctions, cyber threats, energy disruption, climate events, inflation volatility, supplier fragility, and contested logistics are increasingly reshaping global supply chains and exposing the weaknesses of traditional forecasting models.

This premium course explores how organisations can integrate PESTLE analysis directly into inventory forecasting and stockholding strategies to improve resilience, survivability, and operational availability.

Learners will discover how to move beyond historical forecasting methods and build adaptive, risk-informed forecasting models capable of responding dynamically to real-world strategic threats.

The course combines:

* Inventory forecasting theory
* Supply chain resilience methodologies
* Defence logistics principles
* PESTLE analysis
* Risk-adjusted forecasting
* Safety stock modelling
* Supplier vulnerability analysis
* Contested logistics planning
* Strategic inventory decision-making
* AI-enabled forecasting concepts

Designed for modern supply chain, logistics, Defence, and inventory professionals, this course provides practical tools and strategic insight for operating in an increasingly unstable global environment.
