unique circumstances. For the industrial intermediaries division‚ polymers and detergents each need a different method. Since the polymer intermediates sales have risen by a high number of 40% over a two year period and are unpredictable‚ an exponential smoothing method would be most appropriate. This method weights highest on the most recent years sales history. For the detergent intermediates‚ a moving average method would be most appropriate because sales have been stable overall in the past years

of future events. In technical terms‚ conditional on what one knows‚ what can one say about the future? Forecasting techniques include uni-variant‚ multi-variant‚ and qualitative analysis. Time series used to forecast future trends include exponential smoothing‚ ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) and trend analysis. Multi-variant prediction methods include multi regression model‚ econometrics‚ and state space. Delphi marketing research‚ situational analysis‚ and historical analogue belong
