Forecasting is closely related to the planning function as it involves predicting future trends and events, which is essential for creating effective plans. By using forecasting techniques, organizations can anticipate changes, set realistic goals, allocate resources efficiently, and make informed decisions to achieve their objectives. This helps in developing strategic plans that are aligned with the expected outcomes and market conditions.
Planning and forecasting are two principles that have to work together. During planning of financial projects forecasting will be used to estimate various aspects of the project and so on.
Manpower planning is a procedure or tool for forecasting the number of workers a company will need in future years. It is a traditional function of a human resources department. If you are referring to the company Manpower Planning, then the difference would be external planning as opposed to internal HR planning. You'd essentially be outsouring the job to someone else. The methods of forecasting, whether done by an independent analyst at Manpower or an internal HR manager, are basically the same.
Planning is the attempt to create the future by building a path that leads to the furure you desire. Forecasting is attempting to predict the future through empirical means.
A project that would accurately showcase financial planning and forecasting would be a budgeting project. A budget would clearly show the value in planning and being able to predict future financial costs.
