Integrated Forecasting Techniques for Secondary Item Classes. Part 2. Inactive Items

Abstract

This report describes the empirical development and testing of demand forecast algorithms specifically designed for inactive items. The data consisted of a sample from approximately 20,000 aviation repair parts. The intent was to improve demand forecasts at the wholesale level. Included is a description of the efforts to develop characteristics of these items, to develop appropriate forecast algorithms based on these characteristics and to evaluate the algorithms in an inventory management setting.
