How long should it take for a demand forecast to be computed using statistical methods? This question is often asked by customers and prospects. The answer truly depends. Forecast results for a single item can be computed in the blink of an eye, in as little as a few hundredths of a second, but sometimes they may require as much as five seconds. To understand the differences, it’s important to understand that there is more involved than grinding through the forecast arithmetic itself.

They may double-check that the data was input correctly or review the model settings but are still left scratching their head over why the forecast looks very unlike the demand history. When the occasional forecast doesn’t make sense, it can erode confidence in the entire statistical forecasting process.
