Over the years, the Malaysia grocery distribution and sales industry has grown. Today, the total industry sales are in the tens millions of dollars. Major retailer such as DIY and Eco, added food to complement their merchandise sales. For many companies, forecast of industry demand are necessary to plan for short and long term decision. Using time series data below, forecast of monthly industry demand. Month (2021) January February Month (2020) Demand Demand June 138 103 131 142 July August September 149 March 122 110 121 April May June October 175 130 November 194 126 December 166 July 140 a) Graph the time series data. What do you observe? b) Compute all possible forecast using exponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.4. c) Compute all possible forecast using exponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.9. d) Compute the MADS for each forecast model. e) What forecast model would you choose? Why?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
