Forecasting Methods

As forecasting becomes more and more appreciated in situations and activities of everyday life that involve prediction and risk assessment, more methods and solutions make their appearance in this exciting arena of uncertainty. However, less is known about what makes a promising or a poor forecast. In this article, we provide a multi-factor analysis on the forecasting methods that participated and stood out in the M4 competition, by focusing on Error (predictive performance), Correlation (among different methods), and Complexity (computational performance). The main goal of this study is to recognize the key elements of the contemporary forecasting methods, reveal what made them excel in the M4 competition, and eventually provide insights towards better understanding the forecasting task.

It Operations

Many firms have adopted outsourcing in recent years as a means of governing their information technology (IT) operations. While outsourcing is associated with significant benefits, it can also be a risky endeavour. This paper proposes a scenario-based conceptualization of the IT outsourcing risk, wherein risk is defined as a quadruplet comprising a scenario, the likelihood of that scenario, its consequences and the risk mitigation mechanisms that can attenuate or help avoid the occurrence of a scenario. This definition draws on and extends a risk assessment framework that is widely used in engineering. The proposed conceptualization of risk is then applied to the specific context of IT outsourcing using previous research on IT outsourcing as well as transaction cost and agency theory as a point of departure.

Potential Applications

The material presents an analysis of a potential risk assessment of operating military bridge facilities. Three types of steel military bridges were analysed: assembled bridges, vehicle-launched bridges and low-level bridges. The material presents an original method of a fatigue risk factor analysis. Furthermore, the author presents potential applications of the AHP method to determine weights for risk factors under analysis. It is assumed that at the further stage of research a thorough identification and quantification of other risk factors will be conducted.
