Organizations today are required to be prepared for future situations. This preparation can generate a significant competitive advantage. In order to maximize benefits, several companies are investing more in techniques that simulate a future scenario and enable more precise and assertive decision making. Among these techniques are the sales forecasting methods. The comparison between the known techniques is an important factor to increase the assertiveness of the forecast. The objective of this study was to compare the sales forecast results of a mechanical components manufacturing company obtained through five different techniques, divided into two groups, the first one, which uses the fundamentals of the time series, and the second one is the Monte Carlo simulation. The following prediction methods were compared: moving average, weighted moving average, least squares, holt winter and Monte Carlo simulation. The results indicated that the methods that obtained the best performance were the moving average and the weighted moving average attaining 94% accuracy.

The existing charts for monitoring the variance are designed under the assumption that all production data must consist of exact, precise, and determined observations. This paper presents the design of a new neutrosophic exponentially weighted moving average (NEWMA) combining with a neutrosophic logarithmic transformation chart for monitoring the variance having neutrosophic numbers. The computation of the neutrosophic control chart parameters is done through the neutrosophic Monte Carlo simulation (NMCS). The performance of the proposed chart is discussed with the existing charts.

Markowitz Model

Purpose This study aims to make investment decisions in stock markets using forecasting-Markowitz based decision-making approaches. Design/methodology/approach The authors’ approach offers the use of time series prediction methods including autoregressive, autoregressive moving average and artificial neural network, rather than calculating the expected rate of return based on distribution. Findings The results show that using time series prediction methods has a significant effect on improving investment decisions and the performance of the investments. Originality/value In this study, in contrast to previous studies, the alteration in the Markowitz model started with the investment expected rate of return. For this purpose, instead of considering the distribution of returns and determining the expected returns, time series prediction methods were used to calculate the future return of each asset. Then, the results of different time series methods replaced the expected returns in the Markowitz model. Finally, the overall performance of the method, as well as the performance of each of the prediction methods used, was examined in relation to nine stock market indices.

Permasalahan yang dihadapi PT. XYZ yaitu kesulitan dalam menentukan jumlah permintaan produk yang harus tersedia untuk periode berikutnya agar tetap dapat memenuhi kebutuhan pelanggan dan tidak menyebabkan penumpukan barang dalam jangka waktu yang lama terutama produk SN 5 ML yang memiliki permintaan jumlah paling besar dari produk lainnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu menentukan metode peramalan yang tepat untuk meramalkan jumlah permintaan produk SN 5 ml periode Januari sampai dengan Desember 2021 Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode peramalan Moving Average (MA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Single Exponential Smoothing (SES), dan Double Exponential Smoothing (DES). Adapun langkah langkah peramalan yang dilakukan yaitu menentukan tujuan peramalan,memilih unsur apa yang akan diramal, menentukan horizon waktu peramalan (pendek, menengah, atau panjang), memilih tipe model peramalan, mengumpulkan data yang di perlukan untuk melakukan peramalan, memvalidasi dan menerapkan hasil peramalan Berdasarkan perhitungan didapat metode peramalan dengan persentase tingkat kesalahan terkecil dibandingkan dengan metode lainnya yaitu  metode Moving Average (MA) dengan hasil yang diperoleh permintaan produk SN 5 ML pada bulan Januari sampai dengan Desember 2021 yaitu sebanyak 22.844.583 unit

Automated public health records provide the necessary data for rapid outbreak detection. An adaptive exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) plan is developed for signalling unusually high incidence when monitoring a time series of nonhomogeneous daily disease counts. A Poisson transitional regression model is used to fit background/expected trend in counts and provides “one-day-ahead” forecasts of the next day's count. Departures of counts from their forecasts are monitored. The paper outlines an approach for improving early outbreak data signals by dynamically adjusting the exponential weights to be efficient at signalling local persistent high side changes. We emphasise outbreak signals in steady-state situations; that is, changes that occur after the EWMA statistic had run through several in-control counts.
