The Forecast Center of Excellence (FCOE) manages a set of forecasts used by Kroger in both supply chain and labor planning. We work with diverse data sets to ensure we have the best price, promotion, and historical sales information possible. We are looking for someone to take on the role of learning our data sets and becoming an SME on how to use this data appropriately.
