Forecasting of lead-time demand variance: Implications for safety stock calculations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lead-time demand forecasting constitutes the backbone of inventory control. Although there has been a considerable amount research on mean lead-time demand, less centered around variance, especially in case stochastic lead-times. This represents an important gap literature, given that safety stock calculations rely explicitly variance (or equivalently forecast error for unbiased estimators). We bridge this by exploring viability three strategies to estimate under lead-times: (1) aggregating per period errors over lead-time, which is classical approach; (2) considering aggregated (over lead-time) error; (3) resulting from temporally length) demand. Analytical results are derived first order autoregressive moving average ARMA(1,1) process both single exponential smoothing and minimum squared method. A numerical investigation assesses effects autocorrelation variability accuracy each strategy, conditions one outperforms others. The show strategy presented textbooks appears be least accurate one, except cases with high negative autocorrelation. An analysis control performance also reveals often leads higher costs lower service levels positive

Autoregressive Time Series Forecasting of Computational Demand
We study the predictive power of autoregressive moving average models when forecasting demand in two shared computational networks, PlanetLab and Tycoon. Demand in these networks is very volatile, and predictive techniques to plan usage in advance can improve the performance obtained drastically. Our key finding is that a random walk predictor performs best for one-step-ahead forecasts, whereas...
متن کاملOptimal Relief Order Quantity under Stochastic Demand and Lead-time
In this paper, a newsboy model is developed under uniformly distributed lead-time and demand that is an appropriate assumption in obtaining optimal relief inventory of humanitarian disasters. It is noteworthy that limited historical data are in hand on relief operations. Hence, analytical and approximate solutions for optimal relief order quantity were derived. The effect of lead-time uncertai...
