    1. Forecasting Models Static vs. Dynamic

    2. Basics

    3. Visual Investigation

    4. Static Model , Simple Average Basic Assumption: No change in demand, all fluctuations are random. Forecast = Average A measure of match between forecast and actual data is MAD = Mean Absolute Deviation = Average (absolute value of (sales-forecast) for the overall data range)

    5. Static Model – Modeling Trend Assumption : There is a linear trend in data. Plot the data and add trend line (linear). Intercept Slope = Trend First Period Forecast = Intercept + Trend Forecast = Previous period forecast + Trend

    6. Static Model with Seasonality Seasonality*(Linear Trend)

    7. Dynamic Model – Exponential Smoothing

    8. Exponential Smoothing with Trend First Period Forecast = Intercept + Slope (from trendline) Next Period Forecast Average = (1-a)Previous Forecast + a*Previous Sales Slope = b* D in Averages +(1-b)*Previous Trend Forecast = Average +Trend To incorporate seasonality multiply forecast with seasonality factor.
