 In this research project, Machine Learning and Big Data are employed to enhance de forecasting methods of consumer goods company. The data collected from the company’s sales over the last four years for” the hair category” has been trained and the Arima method will be employed to predict the first 8 months of the year 2023. Furthermore, the Demand Driven Material Requirement Plan (DDMRP) is implemented to improve suppliers service level.
