Hi Ujwal

How ever the concept of Forecast model is to base your judgement of forecast for a product or group of products on determining factors like history of sales, promotions, past & present, trend, season & other such attributable causal factors. You create a set of such fators assign weightage to it & based on these work out most probable demand in the future.

Best regards

Looking at historical market demand,companies decides to forecast using different formulas/forecast models...so that there is less difference between demand and supply plans to meet the customer requirements.

Here below is the link to different model and when they should be used :
