Denara Duta Mandiri. Forecasting analysis using time series model with 3 methods of Moving Averages with 2, 3 and 4 month time period, exponential smoothing method with ? = 0.1, ? = 0.5, ? = 0.9 and Trend Projection. To analyze the value of forecasting accuracy, the method used are Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) and Mean Squared Error (MSE). The results show that the Trend Projection method is the most effective method that can be used as the basis for determine body scrub powder products demand, with the result of forecasting demand is 562 kg and the value of forecasting accuracy, MAD = 76,97, MSE = 9.760,12.
