Interval Forecasting in Supply Chain with Small Sample

Abstract EN

To deal with the forecasting with small samples in the supply chain, three grey models with fractional order accumulation are presented.

Human judgment of future trends is incorporated into the order number of accumulation.

The output of the proposed model will provide decision-makers in the supply chain with more forecasting information for short time periods.

The results of practical real examples demonstrate that the model provides remarkable prediction performances compared with the traditional forecasting model.
