Abstract
In the first section of this paper, some important results of Ward4 concerning trendcorrected exponential smoothing models are developed and extended. In the second section a linear production and stock control scheme, in which exponential smoothing is used for forecasting, is examined. Some results analogous to Ward's are obtained for the combined system which throws some interesting light on the interaction between the forecasting and decision-making aspects of such a system.
