Forecast always is a forecast

To whom may concerned,

We did have put the monthly rolling forecast into your site since X company time period till now, some parts are missed it's because customer's rush order, customers didn't provide forecast for us and sometimes it's quality issues, it's the root cause that we can't predict exactly.

Frankly speaking, we are facing the bad situation due to the policy has been changed during this x'fer time period, and we had gotten the insturction that we were not allow to do too more potential forecast unless our customers can provide their forecast for us. Unfortunately, most of them didn't/unwilling provide the forecast for us; therefore, we have no choice to adopt the conservative methods to do the demand.

Moreover, "Forecast always is a forecast", especially for Service demands, though we had predicted the forecast by ourselves. Yes, most of projects has been EOPL, but it doesn't mean Service is end of life, and we still have to do five to seven years service life, how we could build over 100 projects which still in service period by one time and take the high risky for our inventory$, it's really unacceptable, it must be increased our huge inventory cost.

We will do our best to push our customers provide us with forecast in the near future, and will try to calculate more positive forecast, but please be understood that we really need you all to pay more attention for service demands, and thanks for all of you for the fully support.

I rememberred that we have deal the rule with your site's colleagues- if it's EOPL products, when customers still have Service demands, we will follow the new build lead time which confirmed by your site, normally it's one month, and we are still following up this rule.

Deeply sorry for this inconvenience, and will overall to review the EOPL project as soon as we can.
