Summary:An accurate forecast of future demand is an absolute requirement for planning production without creating wasteful overages or shortages and hence constitutes a cornerstone of successful green engineering. This module provides a hands on introduction to Winter's model for time series forecasting from a user's perspective. It shows you step by step how to create a forecast based only on historical demand data. Winter's model involves quantifying and separating the trend and seasonality effects from historical data and projecting them into the future in order to make a forecast. One of the greatest issues with using Winter's model is the selection of values for the three smoothing constants. This module shows in a straight forward fashion how the selection values for the smoothing constants is the solution to an optimization problem. The appendix of the module shows step by step how someone with limited statistical and computer spreadsheet knowledge can obtain the optimal values of the smoothing constants using Excel's Solver add-in, and using Microsoft Excel, develop a working forecasting system
