The MURCO stock forecasting and inventory management system has been developed by Datasolve Limited and outside consultants. It provides the flexibility to meet the needs of such varied companies as a supermarket chain, where demand patterns are fast and highly seasonal with very short lead times; a high-technology engineering company with slow-moving, very unpredictable demand and very long lead times; and a mail-order service with a finite launch period.
