Sumario: | Demand forecasting becomes critical for make to stock production systems companies in order to manage more accurately the finished goods inventories. In this paper an inventory replenishment expert system with the objectives of improving quality service and reducing holding costs is tested. The inventory replenishment expert system, based on an ABCXYZ analysis and time series forecasting techniques, proposes the most effective replenishment strategy for each product category.
