Unit -3
Demand Forecasting: Nature and use of forecast , Forecasting time horizon,
short and long range forecasting, sources of data, demand patterns,
forecasting models: qualitative forecasting techniques, quantitative forecasting
models- linear regression, moving average, exponential smoothing, Numerical
problems.
SLE: Forecasting as a planning tool

12
 Demand forecasting
In any business, planning done based on the estimation of future events, In fact,
any business action taken today must be based on yesterday’s plan and
tomorrows’ Expectations.

Demand Forecasting is a technique that uses historical data as inputs to make

informed estimates that are predictive in determining the direction of future trends.

Businesses utilize forecasting to determine how to allocate their budgets or plan

for anticipated expenses for an upcoming period of time.

13
Forecasting Process

14
Why do we need forecasting?

Forecasting is valuable to businesses because it gives the ability to make

informed business decisions and develop data-driven strategies. ... Past
data is aggregated and analyzed to find patterns, used to predict future trends
and changes.

Forecasting allows your company to be proactive instead of reactive.

15
Uses of Forecasting :
1. Helps in Planning future Activity Levels : ( Sales, Production, inventory,
supply of capital)
2. Helps Maintaining Good LabourRelation: ( hiring , firing. OT, and Relation)
3. Helps in Better Co-ordination of Resources : ( wastes and inefficiencies)
4. Helps Customers : ( competent pricing of product)
5. Helps in Production, Planning and Control : ( minimize Fluctuation in
production)
6. Helps in collective responsibility : (all department)
7. Helps Material Management and Use of Capital
16
 Forecasting Variables;
1.Type of fore cast [demand and technological]
2.Time horizon [ short, medium, long range]
3.Data base available
4.The Methodology [ Quantitative or Qualitative]

Type of fore cast; Variable could be either controllable which can be

reasonably controlled by the management such as advertisement, budget,
inventory etc.

Uncontrollable variables are those which are not in the hands of management
such as product demand, Competition, raw material cost etc.

Apart from demand forecasting there are other areas, where forecasts are
made such as technical, economic, environmental forecasts etc.
17
2. Time Horizon;

i.Short range forecast: 0 to 3 months, max up to 1 year.

ii.Intermediate forecast: 3 to 24 months
iii.Long range forecast : 2 to 10 years

3. Data base
Forecast techniques become more dependable if the Quantitative data
is used rather than Qualitative data [ Opinion and Judgmental
methods]

eg; information such as price of product, previous demand, stock

market index etc.

18
Forecasting Methodology :
suitable methodology has to be selected carefully.
I. Opinion and judgmental Methods
1) Opinion survey method
2) Market Trials method
3) Delphi Technique
4) Nominal Group Technique
II. Time-Series Methods
1) Simple Average
2) Simple Moving Average
3) Weighted Moving Average
4) Simple Exponential Smoothing
5) Exponential Smoothing with Trend Adjustment

III. Least Square or Regression Method.
