CPFR is a supply chain concept from the retail sector. It aims to reduce the whip effect<\/a> in the supply chain by exchanging all information from demand forecasting to replenishment at the various trade levels throughout the supply chain and jointly coordinating forecasts and replenishment quantities. The aim is to keep stocks in the supply chain as low as possible and avoid fluctuations in demand due to incorrect estimates of requirements at upstream planning stages.<\/p>\n
