2.
Explain the different forecasting techniques which may assist in customer
demand planning. 7 marks
Forecasting of demand generates periodic forecasts by use of appropriate
mathematical or statistical techniques selection by matching the situation
characteristics with the forecasting technique abilities.
The criteria for evaluating the technique applicability includes the value of forecasting
accuracy, experience of the forecaster, data availability, data pattern type and forecast
time horizon.
A forecast technique must be qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated based on the
value of forecasting accuracy, experience of the forecaster, data availability, data
pattern type and forecast time horizon criteria.
Causal
A causal technique develops a relationship between a lead event and forecasted
activity, uses refined information and specific information such as regression variables.
