FORECASTING OF INDUSTRIAL MILK PRODUCTION IN TURKEY WITH ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Abstract

Milk is a staple food item in the nutrition of both children and adults as well as, milk is also the raw material of many industrially produced foods such as drinking milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter, cream, milk powder, milk cream, buttermilk, ice cream and milk desserts. In the application part of the study, demand forecasting for industrial milk production was applied using the artificial neural network (ANN) model, one of the statistical demand forecasting techniques. The data used in the study were taken from the National Milk Council and Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) websites. According to the results obtained from the error tests performed after the application, it was observed that the predictions made with the artificial neural network model were reliable and consistent.
