QUALITATIVE FORECASTING METHODS

  • Executive Opinion – Approach in which a group of managers meet and collectively develop a forecast.
  • Market Survey – Approach that uses interviews and surveys to judge preferences of customer and to assess demand.
  • Delphi Method – Approach in which consensus agreement is reached among a group of experts.
  • Sales Force Composite –  Approach in which each salesperson estimates sales in his or her region.

QUANTITATIVE FORECASTING METHODS

TIME SERIES MODELS – Time series models look at past patterns of data and attempt to predict the future based upon the underlying patterns contained within those data.

Associative Models –  Associative models (often called causal models) assume that the variable being forecast is related to other variables in the environment. They try to project based upon those associations.
