Hello all:
I'm looking to find which statistical model would be the correct one to use for new products. We are on APO SCM 7.0 and upgrading to EhP3 in a week. I have products with several months of history only, but would like a stastical model which would show a growth trend. I have set the forecast profile to look at 12 months of history, as our new products would only have data within that timeframe. Some materials will only have 6 or 9 months of data, so I would want the model to ignore the initial months of zeros.
I understand that I can check the "Ignore Leading Zeros" in the Forecast Profile, but that setting is ignored by most models. It works for a Moving Average model, but this will not generate a growth pattern.
Any ideas? Is there anything in Ehp2 or Ehp3 which can designate a material as a "new product"?
Thanks.
Andrea
Dear Andrea
While reading your question i thought that creating 3 different forecast profiles ( With same strategies and different horizions) will solve your problem.
The 3 different forecast profiles willbe like one considering 12 months past history , other considering 9 months past history and the other 6 months past history.
We can assign these profiles to the respective combinations while running the jobs.
Just thought of so but i dont have idea on Ehp2 or Ehp3 which can designate a material as a new product
Thanks.
Regards
Emani
