What is one of the major challenges faced in supply requisition management?

Ensuring demand forecasting aligns with actual supply needs represents a significant challenge in supply requisition management because accurate forecasting is crucial for maintaining the balance between supply and demand. If demand is underestimated, it can lead to shortages that disrupt operations, while overestimating demand can result in excess inventory that ties up resources and increases costs. Effective demand forecasting requires analyzing historical data, market trends, and other variables that can influence supply needs, all while adapting to rapidly changing conditions. This makes it a complex but essential component of successful requisition management in any supply chain operation, including military logistics.
