Forecasting accuracy in context of fresh meat products with short shelf life is studied. Main findings are that forecasting accuracy measures (i.e. errors) should penalize deviations differently according to product characteristics, mainly dependent on whether the deviation is large or small, negative or positive. This study proposes a decision-based mean hybrid evaluation which penalize deviations according to type of animal, demand type, product life cycle and product criticality, i.e. shelf life, inventory level and future demand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
