1 Forecasting February 26, 2007

2 Laws of Forecasting Three Laws of Forecasting –Forecasts are always wrong! –Detailed forecasts are worse than aggregate forecasts! –The further into the future, the less reliable the forecast will be!

3 Forecasting Starting point of all Production Planning systems Qualitative Forecasting techniques Quantitative Forecasting techniques Choice of technique varies with the Product Life Cycle

4 Product Development Stage Should we enter into this business? What segments? What are the alternative growth opportunities for product X? How have established products similar to X fared? How should we allocate R&D efforts and funds? Where will be the market 5 years, 10 years from now?

5 Preliminaries What is the purpose of forecast? How is it to be used? –Accuracy and power required by the techniques Requirements for entering a business vs. next year’s budget –Impact of promotions and other marketing devices –Techniques vary with cost, scope and accuracy –Forecaster should fix the level of tolerance of accuracy Helps in managing the trade-offs Accurate forecast reduces inventory (cost of inventory vs. cost of forecasting)

6 Qualitative Forecasting Relies on expertise of people Data is scarce Usually used for technological forecasts (long term forecasts) Delphi Method, Market Research, Panel Consensus

7 Quantitative Forecasting Time Series models –Predict a future parameter as a function of past values of that parameter (e.g., historical demand) –Systematic variation is captured (seasonality, trend) –Cyclic patterns –Growth (decline) rates of the trends –Assume future is like past (hence useful for short term forecasts) –Managers need to look at the turning points in future that change the past trends

8 Time Series Forecasting Time period i = 1,2,…..t (most recent data) A(i): Actual observations f(t+λ):Forecasts for t + λ, λ = 1,2,……, F(t):smoothed estimate (current position of the process under consideration) T(t):smoothed trend Time Series Modelf(t+λ), λ =1,2,3,…,A(i), i =1,2,…t

9 Time Series Forecasting Moving-Average Model Exponential Smoothing Model Exponential Smoothing with a Linear Trend Model Winter’s Method (adds seasonal multipliers to the exponential smoothing with linear trend model)

10 Quantitative Forecasting Causal models –Most sophisticated –Predict a future parameter (e.g., demand for a product) as a function of other parameters (e.g., interest rates, marketing strategy).

11 Causal Forecasting Opening a fast food restaurant –Demand forecast? –Predictable parameters Population in the vicinity Competition –Use statistics (e.g., regression) to estimate the parameters Y = b 0 + b 1 x 1 + b 2 X 2

12 Components of an Observation Observed demand (O) = Systematic component (S) + Random component (R) Level (current deseasonalized demand) Trend (growth or decline in demand) Seasonality (predictable seasonal fluctuation) Systematic component: Expected value of demand Random component: The part of the forecast that deviates from the systematic component Forecast error: difference between forecast and actual demand

13 Time Series Forecasting Forecast demand for the next four quarters.

14 Time Series Forecasting

15 Basic Approach to Demand Forecasting Understand the objectives of forecasting Integrate demand planning and forecasting Identify major factors that influence the demand forecast Understand and identify customer segments Determine the appropriate forecasting technique Establish performance and error measures for the forecast

16 Patterns of Demand Quantity Time (a) Horizontal: Data cluster about a horizontal line.

17 Patterns of Demand Quantity Time (b) Trend: Data consistently increase or decrease.

18 Patterns of Demand Quantity |||||||||||| JFMAMJJASOND Months (c) Seasonal: Data consistently show peaks and valleys. Year 1 Year 2

19 Patterns of Demand Quantity |||||| 123456 Years (c) Cyclical: Data reveal gradual increases and decreases over extended periods.
