Exercise 4: Moving Average, Simple Exponential Smoothing

The RoboTec Inc. has not changed the marketing expenses for a well-established welding robot
since several periods. Hence, the demand for this robot is approximately at a constant level for
some time and fluctuates only slightly. A good forecasting method should be used in order to
further decrease inventory and back order costs as well as to remain a competitive price. The
historic data about demand quantities for the welding robot is provided by the marketing
director (we are in period 10):
