Demand Management and Forecasting
1. Understand the role of forecasting as a basis for supply chain planning.
2. Compare the differences between independent and dependent demand.
3. Identify the basic components of independent demand: average, trend, seasonal, and random variation.
4. Show how to make a time series forecast using moving averages and exponential smoothing.
The purpose of demand management is to coordinate and control all sources of demand
Two basic sources of demand◦ Dependent demand: the demand for a product or
service caused by the demand for other products or services
◦ Independent demand: the demand for a product or service that cannot be derived directly from that of other products

Not much a firm can do about dependent demand
◦ It is demand that must be met There is a lot a firm can do about
independent demand1. Take an active role to influence demand2. Take a passive role and respond to demand

Time series analysis is based on the idea that data relating to past demand can be used to predict future demand
Components of demand◦ Average demand for a period of time◦ Trend◦ Seasonal element◦ Cyclical elements◦ Random variation

The simple moving average model assumes an average is a good estimator of future behavior
The formula for the simple moving average is:
Ft = Forecast for the coming period N = Number of periods to be averagedA t-1 = Actual occurrence in the past period for up to “n” periodsIf N=1 we have the “naïve forecast” – the forecast equals the current period’s actual

Premise: The most recent observations might have the highest predictive value
Therefore, we should give more weight to the more recent time periods when forecasting
