Abstract
A method and a system for forecasting the demand agreeing with the fluctuation trend of sales results at high and stable precision, without requiring user's maintenance, by using a model optimum for grasping the fluctuation trend of sales results, even if the products are diverse, by storing a plurality of models of neural network, for example, a model for forecasting the demand from data of the past several months, a model for forecasting the demand from data of the same period of the previous year, and a model for forecasting the demand from both the latest data and data of the same period of the previous year, and also by feeding sales results into a model of neural network to make it learn by the short period such as by the week, and a recording medium in which is recorded such program.
