Intermittent and Lumpy Demand: A Forecasting Challenge

John Boylan

Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting, 2005, issue 1, 36-42

Abstract: Slow items with intermittent and lumpy demand patterns can make up a substantial part of an organization's inventory. They are difficult to forecast and some of the most popular forecasting methods are unsuitable. The author describes the principal methods for forecasting intermittent and lumpy demands and shows how to take advantage of recent advances in the field.
