–term perspective of operations. Forecasting starts with certain assumptions based on the management’s experience‚ knowledge and judgment. These estimates are projected into the coming months or years‚ using one or more techniques such as exponential smoothing‚ weighted moving averages trend projection‚ regressing analysis and trend projection. Forecasting is used to answer important questions‚ such as how much demand will there be for a product or services‚ how much will it cost to produce the

accurate in our forecasting. Forecasting is an uncertain process and therefore a high accuracy is demanded. There are many forecasting techniques in the world. In general‚ they can be classified into three types: casual model‚ time-series model and smoothing techniques. Undoubtedly‚ they are of different features and thus are suitable for prediction under certain circumstances. For casual model‚ the most commonly used technique is simple linear regression model. In order to study the seasonal effect
