다품종(多品種) 소비자(消費者) 제품(製品)의 생산관리(生産管理)를 위(爲)한 수요예측모형(需要豫測模型)

Mathematical forecasting models and a practical computer based forecasting system are developed for planning production in a manufacturing and distribution network. The forecasting system works at the highest level of a hierarchical computer-based decision support system consisting of the forecasting system, an aggregate planning system and a shop floor scheduling system. The dynamics of business operations for an actual company have been considered to make this study a unique comprehensive analysis of a real world forecasting problem.
