RE: Forecasting

Hi Khushbu,

Thank you for the forum question.

It depend on different aspects. Which kind of data do you have?

Do you work with linear data?
Do you work with seasonal data?
Do you work with exponential data?

You will need to identify which data you are working with and by testing the accuracy of the forecasting tools you will find the right tools to give you the most accurate forecast.

This can change over time but calculate tracking signal to make sure that you always work with an accurate forecasting model.

Kind regards
