What is Forecasting?
Forecasting is a technique of predicting the future based on the results of previous data. It involves a
detailed analysis of past and present trends or events to predict future events. It uses statistical tools and
techniques. Therefore, it is also called Statistical analysis. In other words, we can say that forecasting acts
as a planning tool that helps enterprises to get ready for the uncertainty that can occur in the future.
Forecasting begins with management's experience and knowledge sharing. To obtain the most numerous
advantages from forecasts, organizations must know the different forecasting methods' more subtle
details. Also, understand what an appropriate forecasting method type can and cannot do, and realize
what forecast type is best suited to a specific need. Let's list down some significant benefits of forecasting:
• Better utilization of resources
• Formulating business plans
• Enhance the quality of management
• Helps in establishing a new business model
• Helps in making the best managerial decisions

What is Prediction?
Prediction is using the data to compute the Outcome of the unseen data.
How does Prediction work?
Firstly, the daily data is fetched from the market once at a time in a day and update it into the database.
Now, the prediction cycle along with learning developed with the use of newly combined data. Historical
data collected and the learning and prediction cycle developed to generate the results. The prediction
results obtained in the form of the various set of periods such as two days, four days, 14 days and so on.
Difference between Prediction and Forecasting
Prediction is the process of estimating the outcomes of unseen data. Forecasting is a sub-discipline of
prediction in which we use time-series data to make forecasts about the future. As a result, the only
distinction between prediction and forecasting is that we consider the temporal dimension. Confusing?
So do we forecast the weather or predict the weather? Consider this, What are the chances that it will
continue to rain in five minutes if it is already raining? Since it is raining right now, regardless of any other
factors that affect the weather (such as air pressure and temperature), the chances of it raining again in
five minutes are high. Right?vThe temporal dimension is whether it is raining right now or not? Without
that forecasting the next 5 mins wouldn't make much sense.
Time-Series refers to data recording at regular intervals of time. Click to explore about, Time Series

Demand Forecasting, undeniably, is the single most
important component of any organizations Supply Chain. It
determines the estimated demand for the future and sets the level
of preparedness that is required on the supply side to match the
demand. It goes without saying that if an organization doesnt get
its forecasting accurate to a reasonable level, the whole supply
chain gets affected. Understandably, Over/Under forecasting has
deteriorating impact on any organizations Supply Chain and
thereby on P and L. Having ascertained the importance of De-
mand Forecasting, it is only fair to discuss about the forecasting
techniques which are used to predict the future values of demand.
The input that goes in and the modeling engine which it goes
through are equally important in generating the correct forecasts
and determining the Forecast Accuracy. Here, we present a very
unique model that not only pre-processes the input data, but
also ensembles the output of two parallel advanced forecasting
engines which uses state-of-the-art Machine Learning algorithms
and Time-Series algorithms to generate future forecasts. Our
technique uses data-driven statistical techniques to clean the data
of any potential errors or outliers and impute missing values if
any. Once the forecast is generated, it is post processed with
Seasonality and Trend corrections, if required.Since the final
forecast is the result of statistically pre-validated ensemble of
multiple models, the forecasts are stable and accuracy variation
is very minimal across periods and forecast horizons. Hence it
is better at estimating the future demand than the conventional
techniques.
Inventory Decisions Sensitive To Demand And Lead Times In The Supply ChainaNumak & Company
Due to global competition, demand is no longer fully determined in any business area. The environment today is extremely dynamic. In such a situation, an estimation error anywhere in the supply chain is felt throughout the process. For this reason, forecasting has a very important place in supply chain management.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Demand Forecasting - Objectives,
Classification and Characteristics of a
Good Forecast
For an organization to provide customer delight it is important that organization can understand what
customer wants and how much does they want. If an organization can gauge future demand that
manufacturing plan becomes simpler and cost effective.
The process of analyzing and understanding current and past information to understand the future
patterns through a scientific and systemic approach is called forecasting. And the process of estimating
the future demand of product in terms of a unit or monetary value is referred to as demand
forecasting.
The purpose of forecasting is to help the organization manage the present as to prepare for the future by
examining the most probable future demand pattern. However, forecasting has its constraint for example
we cannot estimate a pattern for technologies and product where there are no existing pattern or data.
Business Forecasting Objective
The very objective of business forecasting is to be accurate as possible, so that planning of resources
can be done in a very economical manner and therefore, propagate optimum utilization of resources.
Business forecasting helps in establishing relationship among many variables, which go into
manufacturing of the product. Each forecast situation must be analyzed independently along with
forecasting method.
Classification of Business Forecasting
Business forecasting has many dimensions and varieties depending upon the utility and application. The
three basic forms are as follows:
Economic Forecasting: these forecasting are related to the broader macro-economic and micro-
economic factors prevailing in the current business environment. It includes forecasting of inflation rate,
interest rate, GDP, etc. at the macro level and working of particular industry at the micro level.
Demand Forecast: organization conduct analysis on its pre-existing database or conduct market survey
as to understand and predict future demands. Operational planning is done based on demand
forecasting.
Technology Forecast: this type of forecast is used to forecast future technology upgradation.

Timeline of Business Forecasting
A forecast and its conclusion are valid within specific time frame or horizon. These time horizons are
categorized as follows:
Long Term Forecast: This type of forecast is made for a time frame of more than three years. These
types of forecast are utilized for long-term strategic planning in terms of capacity planning, expansion
planning, etc.
Mid-Term Forecast: This type of forecast is made for a time frame from three months to three years.
These types of forecasts are utilized production and layout planning, sales and marketing planning, cash
budget planning and capital budget planning.
Short Term Forecast: This type of forecast is made of a time frame from one day to three months. These
types of forecasts are utilized for day to day production planning, inventory planning, workforce
application planning, etc.
Characteristics of Good Forecast
A good forecast is should provide sufficient time with a fair degree of accuracy and reliability to prepare
for future demand. A good forecast should be simple to understand and provide information relevant to
production (e.g. units, etc.)
Forecasting Methods
Forecasting is divided into two broad categories, techniques and routes. Techniques are further classified
into quantitative techniques and qualitative techniques. Quantitative techniques comprise of time series
method, regression analysis, etc., where as qualitative methods comprise of Delphi method, expert
judgment.
Routes forecasting consist of top-down route and bottom-up route.
