Webinar · Predict to decide: Turning uncertainty into opportunity in the Supply Chain

Demand planning is no longer just another operational process within the supply chain. It has become one of the decisions with the greatest direct impact on a company’s margin, working capital, and service level.

In an environment marked by structural volatility, shorter product life cycles, and increasing financial pressure, continuing to plan as we did five years ago may be generating more risk than stability.

Many organizations believe they have forecasting “under control.”

However, when the following occur:

• Unexpected stockouts

• Excess inventory

• Reactive decision-making

• Recurring tensions between procurement, operations, and sales

The reality tells a different story…

On March 10 at 16:00 CET, Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC), an MIT-affiliated center, together with Slimstock, is hosting an exclusive webinar to analyze how forecasting must evolve in supply chains that aim to be both resilient and efficient.

The session will combine two complementary perspectives:

🎓 Strategic academic perspective – Sara Sánchez (ZLC)
How to structure a robust planning process in high-uncertainty environments and integrate it into the overall supply chain strategy.

⚙ Practical application and real cases – Eva Abellán (Slimstock)
How to translate this conceptual framework into business reality and turn it into measurable improvements in availability, inventory, and operational efficiency.

What we will cover in the session:

✔ How to design a forecasting process aligned with your supply chain strategy
✔ Structural errors that generate overstock or stockouts without being detected in time
✔ Integrating forecasting, inventory, and service level into a single decision system
✔ What companies in Spain are doing to strengthen resilience and efficiency
✔ How to evolve from reactive processes to dynamic, data-driven planning

Who should attend

This webinar is aimed at professionals responsible for:

• Logistics and Supply Chain Management

• Demand Planning

• Inventory Management

• Procurement and Purchasing

• Operations

Especially relevant for those looking to strengthen supply chain resilience without compromising margin or service levels.

If your role directly impacts inventory, service, or profitability, this session is for you.
