One of the benefits of causal forecasting is the ability to prepare for what is most likely to occur in the future. Depending on the outcome of the projections, the company may find it advantageous to begin increasing production now in anticipation of an increased demand for its products at a later date. At the same time, the results of the causal forecasting may indicate upcoming economic circumstances that would make it prudent to begin curtailing production now in order to prevent being left with huge inventories during some sort of recession or other crisis in the market and the general economy.
