About this document

On The Categorization of Demand Patterns by Fabio Luis Javaroni Patton is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This paper discusses the categorization of demand patterns to improve forecasting methods in inventory control systems. It critiques the common arbitrary categorization practices and proposes a more systematic approach based on theoretical comparisons of mean square error (MSE) across different forecasting methods. The authors validate their categorization rules using real data from the automotive industry, focusing on the average inter-demand interval and the squared coefficient of variation of demand size
