TERM PAPER PROGRESS FORECASTING IRREGULAR DEMAND FOR SPARE PARTS INVENTORY DANG QUANG VINH
Main Idea • It is necessary to use demand distributions rather than expected values of demand. • The irregular patterns characteristic of low demand parts require a probabilistic approach. • Estimate the sum of the demand over the lead time.
First forecasting model • Xt : observed demand in period t, t=1…T • L : fixed lead time • LTD : lead time demand • Yt : mean level of demand at time t • : smoothing factor (0,1) • Assume that LTD is decribed by normal distribution
First forecasting model • Basing on exponential smoothing method: (t=1…T) • Using solver add-in to find out with taking minimizing MSE into account.
First forecasting model • Estimate the mean of L demands within the lead time:
