Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores various ways to accurately predict demand for seasonal style goods. Using weekly demand data for 126 items over an 18-week selling season, the author compares the predictive powers of several different models. The models presented analyze whether ratios of successive forecasts are distributed lognormally, as negative binomials, and according to other statistical distributions. The author concludes that negative binomial data provides the best approximation for a useful decision model. The text then combines this chosen data-generating process with a decision framework to provide examples of use in determining when and how much of each item to order. The author closes with a brief discussion on issues of implementation. The implications of this book's analysis and insights hold great significance for professionals working in the management of seasonal style goods inventory.
