and the main ingredients necessary for implementation of this forecasting procedure. Linear trend forecasting is used to impose a line of best fit to time series historical data (Harvey‚ 1989; McGuigan et al.‚ 2011). It is a simplistic forecasting technique that can be used to predict demand (McGuigan et al.‚ 2011)‚ and is an example of a time series forecasting model. * CYCLICAL COMPONENT In weekly or monthly data‚ the cyclical component describes any regular fluctuations. It is a non-seasonal
