Abstract
In today's competitive world, accurate sales forecasting is crucially required for manufacturing organisations as it can play a remarkable role in reducing their costs and increasing their profits, consequently. Moreover, having a clear knowledge about the future sales value of the organisation can be accompanied by better customer service, reduced lost sales and product returns, and more capable production planning. The issue can be highlighted for dairy products much more as their life cycle is limited and their quality is highly associated with consumers' health. Therefore, the problem has been addressed in this paper by applying autoregressive integrated moving average and local linear neurofuzzy models. The models' performance is compared with respect to a case study carried out in a dairy product manufacturing company in Iran. Through the experimental results, the local linear neurofuzzy model proved well and could outperform the other method. Finally, the future trend of the short-term sale is forecasted for the given company.
