There is a dedicated stream on ‘forecasting’ in the forthcoming 50th

field.
The stream addresses issues related to forecasting in an industrial
context and potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• Development of forecasting over the last 50 years
• Statistical forecasting
• Judgemental forecasting
• Forecast Support Systems (FSS)
• Forecast accuracy and performance measures
• Case studies
• Categorisation of time series
• Forecasting in inventory management
• Hierarchical forecasting
• Forecasting and system dynamics.
The stream will provide an opportunity for the constructive exchange of
ideas in this area and will include a Keynote presentation on ‘Linking
Forecasting and System Dynamics for Inventory Management’.
If you wish to present a paper in this stream, you may submit your
