Naive Approach

• Assumes demand in next ssu es de a d e t period is the same as demand in most recent period
– e.g., If May sales were 48, then June sales will be 48

• Sometimes cost effective & efficient

Moving Average Method

• • • •

MA is a series of arithmetic means Used little U d if li l or no trend d Used often for smoothing
– Provides overall impression of data over time

Equation Demand in Previous n Periods MA = ? n

Disadvantages of Moving Average Methods
• Increasing n makes forecast less sensitive to changes • Does not forecast trend well • Require much historical data

Weighted Moving Average Method • Used when trend is present
– Older data usually less important, so recent values get higher weights

• Weights based on intuition
– Often lie between 0 & 1, & sum to 1.0

• Equation
WMA =
?(Weight for period n) (Demand in period n) ?Weights

Exponential Smoothing Method
• Form of weighted moving average g g g
– Weights decline exponentially – Most recent data weighted most

• Requires smoothing constant (?)
– Ranges from 0 to 1 – Subjectively chosen

Exponential Smoothing Equations

• Ft+1 = Ft + ?(At - Ft)
– Use for computing forecast – Above equation can also be written as

• Ft+1 = ? At + (1- ?) Ft
Ft +1 = ? At + ?(1- ?)At - 1 + ?(1- ?)2At - 2 + ...

Exponential Smoothing Example
During the past 8 quarters, the Port of Baltimore has unloaded large quantities of grain. (? = .10). The first quarter forecast was 175 175.. Quarter Actual 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 180 168 159 175 190 205 180 182 ?

Find the forecast for the 9th quarter.

Forecasting _Simple Linear Regression

Simple Linear Regression
1. Fit a line such that the sum of squared errors is minimum. (least squares estimation) 2. Used only where there is a causal link between the two variables. 3. X and Y ( the two variables) correlated to the extent of correlation coefficient ‘r’. (naturally occurring phenomenon are correlated t th extent of r = 0.3) h l t d to the t t f 0 3) 4.If assumption of linear variation fails, the method of linear regression is not very good. (if n is small then unstable results, n>30 desirable)

Summarizing • Exponential smoothing
F t +1 = Ft + ?(At – Ft )

• Trend adjusted ES
• Ft+1= Ft + b t • Ft = ? ?At + (1 – ??)(Ft-1 + bt-1) • b t = ?? (Ft – Ft-1) + (1 – ?)bt-1

• Seasonality (multiplicative)
– Follows using time series decomposition method – If seasonality is additive, simply subtract this from the series and proceed with new series. When making prediction, add back seasonal value for period.

Steps in forecasting with seasonal data • Find seasonal index • Divide term with appropriate seasonal index and pp p find de-seasonalized series • Use ES or MA or some similar method for forecasting the next term’s figure • Multiply by seasonal index for term • Modify forecast using judgment.

Time Series Decomposition

The oil supply problem (seasonality)
• Mr Ram Kumar is a manager in a major oil company. He is responsible for supplies to the ‘Lensdown area’, and is planning supply arrangements for the next year. The demand for oil (petrol etc.) is seasonal and is less in the winter months with a peak during the summer tourist season. Quarterly demand for the last two years is given below. Can you help Mr Ram Kumar forecast the supplies for the next year? Does he need more data?
