process conducted by qualified CPDF Team Leaders. Whether you

"I have already seen
dividends from the first CPDF workshop and
certification. At work my forecasting responsibilities
have grown from the West to the entire US, a
challenge for which knowing the PEER process
has prepared me for, giving me not only the tools to
perform well, but also confidence in the job." -

Develop The Knowledge, Skills, Talents And
Sensitivities That Are Critical To Achieving Your Goals
Now And In The Future
The Certified Professional in Demand
Forecasting (CPDF) curriculum was
launched in 2007 as a new voice in the forecaster
training world. In contrast
to conventional training programs for
forecaster certifications that are based on
listening to overviews on statistical forecasting
techniques along with a rote memorization of
multiple choice exam questions, the (CPDF) curriculum
emphasizes learning the collaborative process of
doing the forecasting job efficiently and
by successfully mastering forecasting review
cycles.
According
to a Demand Planner in a CPG company in Saudi Arabia:
"After the CPDF (Level I) training workshop, we
introduced a new demand planning process based on weekly
and daily history rather than monthly forecasts to
better reflect the dynamics (short shelf live products)
in our business. We reduced product returns and improved
forecast accuracy. I am getting good appreciation from
everyone now."
