Demand Forecasting Application with Regression and IoT Based Inventory Management System: A Case Study of a Semiconductor Manufacturing Company

Abstract

The accuracy of demand forecasting has a significant impact on the supply chain system's performance, which in turn has a major effect on company performance. Accurate forecasting will allow the organization to make the best use of its resources. The synchronization of customer orders to support production is critical for on-time order fulfillment. However, In fact many organizations report that their forecasting method is not working as effectively as they had hoped because orders regularly alter due to client demands. The purpose of this paper is to present an Internet of Things (IoT)-based inventory management system (IMS) that combines a causal method of multiple linear regressions (MLR) with genetic algorithms (GA) to improve the accuracy of demand forecasting in the future period by the customer as closely as feasible and enable smart inventory for Industry 4.0. Based on the data gathered from a semiconductor company that specializes in low-volume, high-mix contract manufacturing equipment and services integration, the suggested IoT-based IMS indicates that inventory productivity and efficiency could be enhanced, and it is resilient to order fluctuation.

Are metaverse applications in quality 4.0 enablers of manufacturing resiliency? An exploratory review under disruption impressions and future research

“…Increased use of virtual factories in manufacturing facilities and distribution centers may speed up the implementation of infection control procedures and possibly avert site closures (Morshedzadeh et al, 2022). Finally, by using BDA (s.F) to analyze internal and external data, demand fluctuations can be detected earlier, helping to improve forecast accuracy, fostering trust among manufacturing partners and minimizing the bullwhip effect (El Jaouhari, Alhilali, et al, 2022).…”

“…In order to meet the major challenges relating to quality, Quality 4.0 (Q4.0) technologies are available to maintain standards during manufacturing (Javaid et al, 2021). Technology such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, cloud computing, virtual reality, augmented reality, new materials, the IoT and more, have evolved as a result of the quality revolution for improved communication as well as preserving the quality of the manufacturing process (El Jaouhari, Alhilali, et al, 2022;Javaid et al, 2021).…”

Exploring the application of ICTs in decarbonizing the agriculture supply chain: A literature review and research agenda

“…[ 55 ], this should be operational and mainly implemented by the sector. Businesses like supply chain companies that have incorporated computer networks in their company operating activities over the past few years have greatly benefited from continuous decision-making that stakeholders must make and information management to enhance organizational advancement [ 56 , 57 ]. These benefits are primarily mirrored in purchasing, having better cooperation and proper support contracts to reduce costs and avoid delays in the supply of physical assets [ 58 , 59 ].…”

Blockchain Technology and Virtual Asset Accounting in the Metaverse: A Comprehensive Review of Future Directions

“…This can help companies detect and address large financial risks more quickly, improving overall financial performance [72]. Additionally, real-time tracking and monitoring may help firms plan and budget more accurately and make more informed business decisions [73]. By providing precise financial data and insights to assist organizations in making wise business decisions, this can help them stay ahead of their competitors in the metaverse [10].…”
