Random Component
► Erratic, unsystematic, ‘residual’
fluctuations
► Due to random variation or unforeseen
events
► Short duration
and nonrepeating

Naive Approach
► Assumes demand in next
period is the same as
demand in most recent period
► e.g., If January sales were 68, then
February sales will be 68
► Sometimes cost effective and
efficient
► Can be good starting point

Selecting the Smoothing
Constant
The objective is to obtain the most
accurate forecast no matter the
technique
We generally do this by selecting the
model that gives us the lowest forecast
error according to one of three preferred
measures:
► Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD)
► Mean Squared Error (MSE)
► Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE)
MAD =
å Actual - Forecast

Comparison of Measures
TABLE 4.1 Comparison of Measures of Forecast Error
MEASURE MEANING APPLICATION TO CHAPTER EXAMPLE
Mean absolute How much the forecast For a = .10 in Example 4, the forecast for grain
deviation (MAD) missed the target unloaded was off by an average of 10.31 tons.
Mean squared The square of how much For a = .10 in Example 5, the square of the forecast
error (MSE) the forecast missed the error was 190.8. This number does not have a
target physical meaning, but is useful when compared to
the MSE of another forecast.
Mean absolute The average percent For a = .10 in Example 6, the forecast is off by 5.59%
percent error error on average. As in Examples 4 and 5, some forecasts
(MAPE) were too high, and some were low.
