Revenue Center Forecast Report

The Revenue Center Forecast summarizes the short-term forecast for the upcoming week, for all revenue centers. It is used to establish resource requirements, while comparing the accuracy of your projection and LMS's statistical projection. It is then printed and distributed to revenue center managers and discussed at the weekly forecast meeting. By the end of this meeting, revenue center managers should be prepared to provide final edits to their forecast.
