suggest that forecast accuracy can be improved by either damping or ignoring altogether trends which have a low probability of persistence. This paper develops an exponential smoothing model designed to damp erratic trends. The model is tested using the sample of 1‚001 time series first analyzed by Makridakis et al. Compared to smoothing models based on a linear trend‚ the model improves forecast accuracy‚ particularly at long leadtimes. The model also compares favorably to

Forecasting Models: Associative and Time Series Forecasting involves using past data to generate a number‚ set of numbers‚ or scenario that corresponds to a future occurrence. It is absolutely essential to short-range and long-range planning. Time Series and Associative models are both quantitative forecast techniques are more objective than qualitative techniques such as the Delphi Technique and market research. Time Series Models Based on the assumption that history will repeat itself‚

Executive Summary Greaves Brewery is a growing beer operation based out of Trinidad. The purchasing manager for the brewery finds himself struggling in finding a balance between ordering enough bottles to support sales; yet minimizing over ordering to avoid issues associated with growth decelerating trend from an off year‚ continued impact from government excise tax‚ tourism‚ and growth of exports particularly the USA. In addition to previously mentioned concerns ordering the right number

equipment would remain in effect‚ as shown below. Forecasting is the “art and science of predicting future events” (Heizer & Render‚ 2010). There are different methods available for forecasting; the focus will be on least-squares method and exponential smoothing with trend adjustment. One important thing that will be analyzed is how to measure forecast error by using three of the most popular measures. Forecast error shows “how well the model performed against itself using past data” (Heizer &

implement the results 11. Define time series. A forecasting technique that uses a series of past data points to make a forecast. 12. What effect does the value of the smoothing constant have on the weight given to the recent values? The smoothing constant is the weighting factor used in an exponential smoothing forecast‚ a number greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. It can be changed to give more weight to recent data or more weight to past data.

Forecasting Forecast can help managers by reducing some of the uncertainty‚ thereby enabling them to develop more meaningful plans than they might otherwise. A forecast is a statement about the future. Features common to all forecasts 1. The same underlying causal system that existed in the past will continue to exist in the future. 2. Forecasts are rarely perfect; actual results usually differ from predicted values. 3. Forecasts for groups of items tend to be more accurate than forecasts
