Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed to forecast new product launch sourcing. An example method includes identifying shared attributes between the new product and a plurality of existing products in the target market, calculating theoretical co-penetration values between the attributes shared between the new product and at least one of the plurality of existing products, calculating actual co-penetration values between the attributes shared between the new product and at least one of the plurality of existing products, calculating an attribute distance value between corresponding ones of the theoretical and actual co-penetration values, and calculating a percent volume of the new product expected to be sourced from one of the plurality of existing products based on the attribute distance value.
