Questions
What method is best here? Moving Average or Exponential Smoothing?
What is weighted average?
What is judgmental forecasting and how does it apply here?
The plant is using the chase production option and the ATO process design. The BOM is illustrated below. Requirement 2
Select the better forecasting model and support your answer. From your answer, explode the above
BOM for each item to determine the requirements of each item based on the Gross Requirement of
200 units for Item ‘A’; the parent item.
Requirement 3
The factory works on a process layout but the order lot sizing is open for determination. Determine the optimal method for lot sizing.
Questions:
What is BOM?
What is 2 to 1? 1 to 1?

Answer
Requirement 1
Using Weighted Moving averages 3 year weighted average = (1 × 487 + 2 × 567 + 3 × 450)/ (1 + 2 + 3) = 495.17 units
5 year weighted average = (1 × 712 + 2 × 498 + 3 × 487 + 4 × 567 + 5 × 450)/ (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) =
512.47 units

Questions
Moving average as under Exponential Smoothening only the most recent year’s data would be used which means 3 or 5 year weightage can NOT be used.

Weighted average is giving different weights to each observation and then computing an average using the sum of the weights as the denominator.
Judgemental forecasting is using instincts to forecast – here, since current economic situation is the judgemental component, we have given the highest weightage to the most recent year’s demand.

Requirement 2

The better forecasting method would be the 3 year
