Ft = α (At - 1) + (1 - α )(Ft - 1 + Tt - 1)
Tt = β (Ft - Ft - 1) + (1 - β )Tt - 1
Step 1: Compute Ft
Step 2: Compute Tt
Step 3: Calculate the forecast FITt = Ft + Tt

Trend Projections
Fitting a trend line to historical data points
to project into the medium to long-range
Linear trends can be found using the least
squares technique
y^ = a + bx
^ where y = computed value of
the variable to be predicted
(dependent variable)
a = y-axis intercept
b = slope of the regression line

Seasonal Variations In Data
Steps in the process:
1. Find average historical demand for each
season
2. Compute the average demand over all
seasons
3. Compute a seasonal index for each season
4. Estimate next year’s total demand
5. Divide this estimate of total demand by the
number of seasons, then multiply it by the
seasonal index for that season

Associative Forecasting
Used when changes in one or more
independent variables can be used to predict
the changes in the dependent variable
y^ = a + bx
^ where y = computed value of
the variable to be predicted
(dependent variable)
a = y-axis intercept
b = slope of the regression line
x = the independent variable
though to predict the value of the
dependent variable
