Collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment
open-in-new
<p>Collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR) is an approach to the supply chain process which focuses on joint practices. This is done through cooperative management of inventory through joint visibility and replenishment of products throughout the supply chain. Information shared between suppliers and retailers aids in satisfying customer demands through a system of shared information. This allows for continuous updating of inventory and upcoming requirements, making the end-to-end supply chain process more efficient. Efficiency is created through the decrease expenditures for merchandising, inventory, logistics, and transportation across all trading partners. </p><p>CPFR is a <a href="/facts/Trademark/B23H8IS0">trademark</a> of <a href="/facts/GS1_US/J0K8KdP6">GS1 US</a>. </p>
