  2. ?? What is Forecasting? • Process of predicting a future event • Underlying basis of all business decisions • Production • Inventory • Personnel • Facilities

  3. Forecasting Time Horizons • Short-range forecast • Up to 1 year, generally less than 3 months • Purchasing, job scheduling, workforce levels, job assignments, production levels • Medium-range forecast • 3 months to 3 years • Sales and production planning, budgeting • Long-range forecast • 3+ years • New product planning, facility location, research and development

  4. Influence of Product Life Cycle • Introduction and growth require longer forecasts than maturity and decline • As product passes through life cycle, forecasts are useful in projecting • Staffing levels • Inventory levels • Factory capacity Introduction – Growth – Maturity – Decline

  5. Introduction Growth Maturity Decline Best period to increase market share R&D engineering is critical Practical to change price or quality image Strengthen niche Poor time to change image, price, or quality Competitive costs become critical Defend market position Cost control critical Company Strategy/Issues Fax machines CD-ROM Internet Drive-through restaurants Color printers Sales 3 1/2” Floppy disks Flat-screen monitors DVD Product Life Cycle Figure 2.5

  6. Introduction Growth Maturity Decline OM Strategy/Issues Product Life Cycle Product design and development critical Frequent product and process design changes Short production runs High production costs Limited models Attention to quality Forecasting critical Product and process reliability Competitive product improvements and options Increase capacity Shift toward product focus Enhance distribution Standardization Less rapid product changes – more minor changes Optimum capacity Increasing stability of process Long production runs Product improvement and cost cutting Little product differentiation Cost minimization Overcapacity in the industry Prune line to eliminate items not returning good margin Reduce capacity Figure 2.5

  7. Types of Forecasts • Economic forecasts • Address business cycle – inflation rate, money supply, housing starts, etc. • Technological forecasts • Predict rate of technological progress • Impacts development of new products • Demand forecasts • Predict sales of existing product

  8. The Realities! • Forecasts are seldom perfect • Most techniques assume an underlying stability in the system • Product family and aggregated forecasts are more accurate than individual product forecasts

  9. Forecasting Approaches Qualitative Methods • Used when situation is vague and little data exist • New products • New technology • Involves intuition, experience • e.g., forecasting sales on Internet

  10. Forecasting Approaches Quantitative Methods • Used when situation is ‘stable’ and historical data exist • Existing products • Current technology • Involves mathematical techniques • e.g., forecasting sales of color televisions

  11. Overview of Qualitative Methods • Jury of executive opinion • Pool opinions of high-level executives, sometimes augment by statistical models • Delphi method • Panel of experts, queried iteratively

  12. Overview of Qualitative Methods • Sales force composite • Estimates from individual salespersons are reviewed for reasonableness, then aggregated • Consumer Market Survey • Ask the customer

  13. Time-Series Models Associative Model Overview of Quantitative Approaches • Naive approach • Moving averages • Exponential smoothing • Trend projection • Linear regression

  14. Time Series Forecasting • Set of evenly spaced numerical data • Obtained by observing response variable at regular time periods • Forecast based only on past values • Assumes that factors influencing past and present will continue influence in future

  15. Trend Cyclical Seasonal Random Time Series Components

  16. Naive Approach • Assumes demand in next 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 and efficient

  17. ∑ demand in previous n periods n Moving average = Moving Average Method • MA is a series of arithmetic means • Used if little or no trend • Used often for smoothing • Provides overall impression of data over time

  18. Actual 3-Month Month Shed Sales Moving Average January 10 February 12 March 13 April 16 May 19 June 23 July 26 10 12 13 (10 + 12 + 13)/3 = 11 2/3 Moving Average Example (12 + 13 + 16)/3 = 13 2/3 (13 + 16 + 19)/3 = 16 (16 + 19 + 23)/3 = 19 1/3

  19. Weightedmoving average ∑(weight for period n) x (demand in period n) ∑ weights = Weighted Moving Average • Used when trend is present • Older data usually less important • Weights based on experience and intuition

  20. Weights Applied Period 3 Last month 2 Two months ago 1 Three months ago 6 Sum of weights Actual 3-Month Weighted Month Shed Sales Moving Average January 10 February 12 March 13 April 16 May 19 June 23 July 26 10 12 13 [(3 x 13) + (2 x 12) + (10)]/6 = 121/6 Weighted Moving Average [(3 x 16) + (2 x 13) + (12)]/6 = 141/3 [(3 x 19) + (2 x 16) + (13)]/6 = 17 [(3 x 23) + (2 x 19) + (16)]/6 = 201/2

  21. Potential Problems With Moving Average • Increasing n smooths the forecast but makes it less sensitive to changes • Do not forecast trends well • Require extensive historical data

  22. Exponential Smoothing • Form of weighted moving average • Weights decline exponentially • Most recent data weighted most • Requires smoothing constant () • Ranges from 0 to 1 • Subjectively chosen • Involves little record keeping of past data

  23. Exponential Smoothing New forecast = last period’s forecast + a(last period’s actual demand – last period’s forecast) Ft = Ft – 1 +a(At – 1 - Ft – 1) where Ft = new forecast Ft – 1 = previous forecast a = smoothing (or weighting) constant (0  a  1)

  24. Exponential Smoothing Example Predicted demand = 142 Ford Mustangs Actual demand = 153 Smoothing constant a = .20

  25. New forecast = 142 + .2(153 – 142) Exponential Smoothing Example Predicted demand = 142 Ford Mustangs Actual demand = 153 Smoothing constant a = .20

  26. Exponential Smoothing Example Predicted demand = 142 Ford Mustangs Actual demand = 153 Smoothing constant a = .20 New forecast = 142 + .2(153 – 142) = 142 + 2.2 = 144.2 ≈ 144 cars

  27. Choosing  The objective is to obtain the most accurate forecast no matter the technique We generally do this by selecting the model that gives us the lowest forecast error Forecast error = Actual demand - Forecast value = At - Ft

  28. Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) MAD = ∑ |actual - forecast| n Common Measure of Error

  29. Forecast including (FITt) = trend exponentially exponentially smoothed (Ft) + (Tt) smoothed forecast trend Exponential Smoothing with Trend Adjustment When a trend is present, exponential smoothing must be modified

  30. Exponential Smoothing with Trend Adjustment Ft = a(At - 1) + (1 - a)(Ft - 1 + Tt - 1) Tt = b(Ft - Ft - 1) + (1 - b)Tt - 1 Step 1: Compute Ft Step 2: Compute Tt Step 3: Calculate the forecast FITt= Ft+ Tt

  44. Seasonal Variations In Data The multiplicative seasonal model can modify trend data to accommodate seasonal variations in demand Find average historical demand for each season Compute the average demand over all seasons Compute a seasonal index for each season Estimate next year’s total demand Divide this estimate of total demand by the number of seasons, then multiply it by the seasonal index for that season
