The actual demand of a product (in units) in week 1 through week 7 were:
164, 172, 157, 182, 145, 175, and 179.
You want to develop a forecasting model using the exponential smoothing model with alpha 0.33. Assume the forecast for week 1 is 164 units.
Use at least 4 decimal places in your calculation and no commas in your answer.
The forecasted demand for week 3 is _______
The forecasted demand for week 5 is _______
The forecasted demand for week 8 is _______
Exponential smoothing is the technique where the demand is forecasted based on the smoothing constant. The smoothing constant is applied on the actual demand of current period in order to find out the forecast of the next period.
The actual demand of a product (in units) in week 1 through week 7 were:
The answer is not the ones marked.
Kristen Pacheco owns a small restaurant that's open seven days a week. Until recently, she forecasted the daily number of customers she would have using her intuition. However, she wanted to open another restaurant and recognized the need to adopt a more formal method of forecasting that could be used in both locations. Kristen decided to compare a three week moving average forecast with exponential smoothing forecasts using a = .7 and a...
