Abstract

When simulating various demand conditions and then determining the best factors for both smoothing and trend adjustments in an exponential smoothing model, both the optimal values and the relative sensitivity of moving away from optimality are represented best using computer graphics. Transectional graphs are drawn using SYMVU, and contour maps are drawn using SURFACE II. The simulation is written in Pascal with an earlier version in BASIC.
