Study Notes
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
- Adding an additional month of data in a 4-month SMA does not always increase the average; it depends on the relationship between the new month's data and the previous average.
Exponential Smoothing
- Exponential smoothing does not give more weight to older data points; it assigns more weight to recent observations, enhancing the relevance of newer data in the forecast.
Capacity Utilization
- Capacity utilization measures the efficiency of production by calculating the ratio of actual output to the maximum possible (design) capacity, indicating how effectively resources are being utilized.
