Indonesian marine waters have high marine resource resources. One of Indonesia's seafood commodities is fish. With proper management and utilization, marine products become one of the promising business opportunities for the community, so that fisheries become one of the supporting sectors of national economic development. UD Harum is one of the businesses engaged in the fisheries sector as a supplier of marine fish raw material needs to meet the needs of the manufacturing industry. To optimize production planning to meet industry demand, forecasting of sea fish sales data forecasting in the previous period is needed to anticipate a shortage of raw materials. The purpose of this forecasting is to implement forecasting using the Single Moving Average (SMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA) and Centered Moving Average (CMA) methods in forecasting sea fish sales at UD Harum and to find out the best forecasting results to increase sea fish sales at UD Harum. Forecasting results show forecasting using the Single Moving Average (3-monthly) and (5-monthly) methods respectively 8107.67 kg and 8399.4 kg. For the Weighted Moving Average (3-monthly) and (5-monthly) methods, the results of forecasting are 7268,963 kg and 7443,452, respectively. As for the Centered Moving Average (3-monthly) method with forecast results of 8107.67 kg. The forecasting method chosen to optimize sales is the Centered Moving Average method with a forecast value of 8107.67 kg and has the smallest forecasting error compared to other forecasting methods with a MAPE value of 0.30875 and MPE of -0.1720.

Headquarters Coffee is one of the businesses engaged in the culinary field of coffee drinks. The problem that occurs at the Coffee Headquarters is that business activities are still carried out manually. In addition, determining sales in the next period only refers to the sales data of the previous period, resulting in owners often experiencing shortages or excess stocks of coffee to be sold due to uncertain sales. Therefore we need a forecasting method (Forecasting) that is appropriate and can be applied to an Information System in the form of a Website. The purpose of making this forecasting information system is to assist companies in recording sales to make it more practical by applying the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) method. From the results of the calculation of the WMA method, the level of accuracy will then be calculated using the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) method. The results of forecasting by applying the WMA method and MAPE calculations on weights 3, 4 and 5 show that the Robusta coffee on the Robusta menu which has the smallest MAPE is weight 3 with a calculation result of 19.2499 and the Robusta Milk menu which has the smallest MAPE is weight 4 with the calculation result is 15.21879166 and Excelsa coffee on the excelsa menu which has the smallest MAPE is weight 3 with a calculation result of 19.1538 and the Excelsa Susu menu which has the smallest MAPE is weight 5 with a calculation of 17.27650182 while for Arabica coffee on the Arabica menu which has the smallest MAPE is weight 4 with a calculation result of 18.1735 and the Arabica Susu menu which has the smallest MAPE is weight 5 with a calculation result of 16.24012072. Where the Mape value produced by each type of coffee is still below 20%, which means the forecasting results can be categorized as good.
