“Few people have as deep an understanding of supply chain management and the ability to lead, consult, and instruct, as Jeff does! Jeff and I have known each other for several years as APICS chapter board members and instructors and have been fellow students and community teaching assistants in the MITx MicroMasters Supply Chain Management program. Jeff has a substantial set of credentials from the academic, practicioner, and instructor world - too many to list here; know that he has a keen understanding of the forest and the trees of the supply chain. When I have a supply chain question Jeff can distill knowledge from all 3 views as well as anyone I know. Most important, Jeff is a valued resource for me - whether I need guidance on a strategic supply chain challenge or advice on how to attack a difficult quantitative problem Jeff provides valuable counsel. And I always enjoy my conversations with Jeff - he is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Jeff - he will be a highly valued as a leader, consultant, and instructor for your organization. ”

Maximizing Forecast Value Added through Machine Learning and “Nudges”

Maximizing Forecast Value Added through Machine Learning and “Nudges” by Jeff Baker
Is it possible to determine in advance whether a certain action will add enough value to justify its cost? This is the question addressed in our feature article. The author applies machine-learning methods to predict the FVA of a judgmental override from the characteristics of the override—its direction and size—along with the forecastability of the series. The article introduces several new constructs: the…Maximizing Forecast Value Added through Machine Learning and “Nudges” by Jeff Baker
Is it possible to determine in advance whether a certain action will add enough value to justify its cost? This is the question addressed in our feature article. The author applies machine-learning methods to predict the FVA of a judgmental override from the characteristics of the override—its direction and size—along with the forecastability of the series. The article introduces several new constructs: the threshold FVA, the dispersion-scaled override, and the use of nudges rather than rigid rules to prompt forecasters to consider the desirability of overriding a statistical forecast. Robert Fildes and Michael Gilliland provide Commentaries. -
