Popis: In a supply chain, forecasting method directly influences the bullwhip effect (BWE) and net-stock amplification (NSAmp) which adversely impact on performance of supply chain. However, such adverse effects can be moderated through use of realistic and accurate demand forecasting models. In the present study, an integrated approach of discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) analysis and least-square support vector machine (LSSVM) is proposed for demand forecasting. Initially, the proposed DWT-LSSVM model is tested and validated using a data set from open literature. A comparative study between Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and proposed model has been made. Further, the model is tested with demand data collected from two different manufacturing firms. It is observed that proposed model outperforms ARIMA model in respect to accurate estimation of demand and reduce BWE.
