Abstract

This paper presents an in-depth analysis of various time series forecasting models that are commonly utilized in the field of demand planning. Demand planning is a crucial aspect of supply chain management, as it involves predicting future customer demand to ensure that products and services are available when needed. The study evaluates the performance and applicability of different time series forecasting techniques, such as ARIMA, exponential smoothing, and machine learning-based models. It discusses their strengths and limitations in the context of demand planning and highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate model based on the specific characteristics of the dataset and the business objectives. Furthermore, the paper explores how these models can be integrated with other demand planning tools and methodologies to improve accuracy and effectiveness. The findings of the study are expected to provide valuable insights for managers and practitioners in the supply chain and logistics industry, assisting them in making informed decisions regarding inventory management, production planning, and resource allocation.
