Abstract: | The authors present a model for forecast evolution that captures two notions related to forecasts: (1) forecasts are not exact; (2) forecasts over longer horizons are less certain than those over shorter horizons. The authors model the forecast of discrete demand as a band defined by the lower and upper bounds on demand, such that future forecasts lie within the current band. The authors develop a capacitated production planning model for a single product with terminal demand. The authors develop four heuristics for the problem and characterize their performance. In particular, two of the heuristics are optimal for the no holding-cost case. |
