Forecasting and planning for inventory management has received considerable attention from the OR community over the last 50 years because of its implications for decision making, both at the strategic level of an organization and at the operational level. Many influential contributions have been made in this area, reflecting different perspectives that have evolved in divergent strands of the literature, namely: system dynamics (SD), control theory and forecasting theory (both statistical and judgemental). Although this pluralism is healthy in terms of knowledge advancement, it also signifies the fragmentation of the OR discipline and the lack of cross-fertilization of ideas to develop more comprehensive approaches towards the resolution of the same issues. In this paper, the relevant statistical methods are reviewed and synthesized to promote some convergence between different approaches to inventory forecasting and planning.
La previsione e la pianificazione per la gestione delle scorte ha ottenuto un'enorme attenzione dalla comunità della ricerca operativa negli ultimi 50 anni a causa delle sue implicazioni nel processo decisionale, non solo a livello strategico ma anche a livello operativo di una organizzazione. I settori della dinamica dei sistemi, della teoria del controllo e della teoria della previsione (sia statistica che giudgimentale) hanno contribuito in maniera influente in questo settore ognuna riflettendo le diverse prospettive dei vari filoni divergenti della letteratura. Nonostante questo pluralismo sia utile in termini di avanzamento della conoscenza, questo ci indica anche che la comunita' della ricerca operativa e' frammentata e cio' porta ad una mancanza di fecondazione incrociata di idee e conseguentemente allo sviluppo di approcci meno completi per la risoluzione delle stesse problematiche. In questo documento, i metodi statistici rilevanti sono rivisti e sintetizzati per promuovere una convergenza fra vari approci alla pianificazione e previsione degli inventari.

Abstract
Forecasting and planning for inventory management has received considerable attention from the OR community over the last 50 years because of its implications for decision making, both at the strategic level of an organization and at the operational level. Many influential contributions have been made in this area, reflecting different perspectives that have evolved in divergent strands of the literature, namely: system dynamics (SD), control theory and forecasting theory (both statistical and judgemental). Although this pluralism is healthy in terms of knowledge advancement, it also signifies the fragmentation of the OR discipline and the lack of cross-fertilization of ideas to develop more comprehensive approaches towards the resolution of the same issues. In this paper, the relevant statistical methods are reviewed and synthesized to promote some convergence between different approaches to inventory forecasting and planning.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
