Q5) Historical demand for a product is

Demand

t (in 1000)

January 1 320

February 2 315

March 3 345

April 4 375

May 5 360

June 6 350

Compute the forecast for July,

a) Using 2-period simple moving average.

b) Using a 3-period weighted moving average with weights w1 = 0.4, w2 =

0.4, and w3 = 0.2.

c) Using simple exponential smoothing with α=0.5 (assume that F1 =
320).

d) Using exponential smoothing with trend with α=0.4 and δ=0.5 (assume

that F1=310, T1=10).

Answer to Question 5

a) forecast for July = (360+350) / 2

b) w1(350) + w2(360) + w3(375)

0.4(350) + 0.4(360) + 0.2(375)

140+144+75 = 350 for July

c)



= 320

= 350



= 320 + 0.5(350-320)

= 335

d)











( 310 + 10 = 320



T = 10 + 0.5(332-320) = 16
