Demand Forecasting and Forecast Error

Decision and Review Conclusion

How Does This Method Support the Selected Engineering Decision?

Filtration-capacity planning and scheduling master data depend on a defined demand history. Forecasting methods connect expected workload to planning assumptions, while error measures show whether the forecast is useful for the decision.
