The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

There are four types of demand forecasting (qualitative, causal, time series, and simulation). Companies use one or more of these techniques to conduct demand forecasting. Using course materials and other resources, complete the following:

• Select 2 major companies and identify how demand forecasting is an essential part of their manufacturing process.
• Based on your knowledge, or through research, postulate which of the forecasting techniques would be most beneficial and logical for the companies to use. Specify types of forecasting formulae, if possible.
• Describe aggregate planning.
