Question

SPC wishes to develop short-term demand forecasts for each of its many different
products with a simple forecasting procedure. As a result, only simple exponential
smoothing and trend-adjusted exponential soothing are being considered for use. The
question that naturally arises is “Which of these exponential smoothing models should
be used, and what smoothing parameters should be used with these models to obtain the
best expected overall accuracy from forecasts?” 
How well the different forecasting techniques would have performed if they had been in
use over the given five year interval.
As mentioned above, there is an obvious seasonality that must be accounted for in
this case, and neither of these exponential smoothing models should be used directly with
data sets that contain seasonal effects. This leads to a need for seasonal indexes. SPC
management wants to have a forecasting model that updates seasonal indexes at the end
of each given year to account for demand values that were observed during the given
year. However, the parameters for the “most accurate” forecasting model in
this situation should be determined on the basis of trying to minimize the total overall
cost of forecasting error.*
