The Activity Forecast feature allows you to simulate demand by configuring various types of tasks.
You can create forecasts based on either:
-
Real activities and operations already present in the system.
-
Simulated activities
In a massive simulation, copy an activity forecast helps to duplicates activities and tasks in a single step, allowing to create different what-if scenarios, and apply changes without altering your original simulation.
A significant advantage of using activity forecasts is their complete independence from actual activities and work-orders data. This means any adjustments or edits made within the forecast simulation will not impact the live operational data in your system.
