Based on our calculations between the simple three-month moving average and the three period weighted moving average‚ the method that produced the best forecast was the weighted moving average. The reason why the weighted moving average is a better method is essentially because it does not assume that there will be equal weights for each period. Since the goal is to forecast future tire consumption‚ it makes more sense to assign heavier weights to more recent demand because the older demands become

the most accurate forecast possible so they can plan for the demands. There are forecasting tools that assist with making calculations to receive the best outcome by your company’s needs. The tools are moving average‚ weighted moving average and exponential smoothing. The moving average takes the total of actual demand for previous months then divides by the number of months added. The number of months that is used can be predefined such as using the previous three months. This is the simplest

Algorithm to Calculate Basic Feasible Solution using Simplex Method Abstract: The problem of maximization/minimization deals with choosing the ideal set of values of variables in order to find the extrema of an equation subject to constraints. The simplex method is one of the fundamental methods of calculating the Basic Feasible Solution (BFS) of a maximization/minimization. This algorithm implements the simplex method to allow for quick calculation of the BFS to maximize profit or minimize loss
