Advanced Forecasting to Announce at Semicon West 2005 a Turning-Point in
Sales of Semiconductors
Saratoga, California – May 23, 2005 – Advanced Forecasting will share
with attendees of its 17th annual forecast seminar a
prediction for the timing of the next turning-point in the IC Cycle. A
mid-year update of its forecasts for semiconductor equipment,
semiconductor materials and equipment-components, and wafer sales will
also be presented at the July 11, 2005 seminar held during Semicon West
2005 in San Francisco, CA.
“Accurately predicting an impending turning-point in a cycle is
implicitly more important to a company’s bottom line than possessing an
accurate growth rate, because a positive growth rate may hide the
beginning of a major recession, as in 2000,” said Rosa Luis, Director of
Marketing and Sales for Advanced Forecasting, a semiconductor-orientated
forecasting house. “However, not only have our quantitative forecast
models accurately predicted 90% of the turning-points in the IC cycle
since inception, but most recently those models predicted the growth
rates for 2004 with bull’s eye precision for IC revenues, semiconductor
equipment, and wafer sales.”
As
related industries continue to be impacted by the effects of the
slowdown in the second half of 2004,
predicted by Advanced Forecasting’s forecasts, visibility using
Advanced Forecasting’s services is quite clear. Known for its unique
non-survey-based methodology and accurate view of changes in direction,
the forecasting firm will discuss how to identify and predict the peaks
and valleys in a company’s products/divisions’ sales, as well as how to
evaluate a forecast and implement it into the decision-making process
from the corporate level to the product line level.
Attendees of Advanced Forecasting’s seminar will have the opportunity to
speak directly with Dr. Handelsman, the architect of the quantitative
models behind the forecasts. Each attendee receives a CD that includes
the presentation materials and software that assists the participants in
analyzing their own company’s data for internal decision-making and
determining a forecast’s applicability to that data.
