a sales forecast for 2004. Greaves provided five years and two months of annual sales data. Using Stat Tools, the following analysis were run: Moving Average, Exponential Smoothing Simple, Exponential Smoothing Holt’s, and Exponential Smoothing Winter’s. Following a comparison on the average on all models, the Exponential Smoothing Winter’s was found to be the most suitable model for the case. A graph

Health forecasting requires reliable information, data and appropriate logical instruments

Ibrahim Aljassim Data Set A “A Comparison of Demand Forecasting Models” INTRODUCTION Blattberg and Hoch have stated that (forecasting) “remains an art with tenuous scientific superstructure.” Despite this claim, numerous time series models have been created that can provide significantly more accurate forecasts for future demand than simply ‘going with your best guess.’ If something is not measured, it will never improve, or stated otherwise, you ‘get what you inspect, not what you expect
