Demand Forecasting with Integration of Time Series and Regression Models in Pharmaceutical Industry

Öz

Accurate demand forecasting is crucially important to reduce inventory and backlogging cost. In this study, we analyze how
promos, holiday statements, price changes, stock availability and date-time features (weekdays, months etc.) affect the
demand by using several forecasting methods. Data sets were collected for the products of the global pharmaceutical
company providing services in Turkey. Actual daily sales data for 2016, 2017 and 2018 were used in the construction of this
data set. In order to predict the next periods demand, we used four different models which are Holt Winters, Ridge
Regression, Random Forest and Xgboost. We also ensemble those models to improve forecasting accuracy. Next, by
weighting inversely proportional to the error rates of the models, binary, triple and quadruple combinations of the single
models were compared with themselves and the single models. Our numerical results show that the lowest forecasting error
rate was obtained in ensemble models. Particularly, the lowest error rate in individual models was obtained in Random Forest
with 15.7% RMSPE (Root Mean Square Percentage Error) value, and the lowest error rate was obtained with 10.7% RMSPE
value in Holt Winters & Xgboost models combination. Results show that ensemble of several models can increase the
forecasting accuracy.
