Em 2009, no Seminário “The 29th Annual International Symposium on Forecasting” em Hong Kong, o trabalho Demand management and inventory control through forecast error monitoring using the combined Shewhar-CUSUM control charts foi apresentado. Autores: Robert Wayne Samohyl e Leandro Callegari Coelho. Resumo em inglês: Optimal inventory size is essential  for maintaining the competitive edge. Demand management and forecasting are a vital part of the calculation due to the fact that forecast errors and the size of inventories are correlated. Errors in forecasting should be monitored for the adequacy of the underlying model. In statistical process control, a monitoring scheme that has received

Em 2009, no Congresso "Optimization Days" em Montréal no Canadá, o trabalho Evaluation of Exponential Smoothing Models for Demand Forecasting with Combined Shewhart-CUSUM Control Charts foi apresentado. O congresso aconteceu no HEC Montréal (www.hec.ca). Autores: Leandro Callegari Coelho e Robert Wayne Samohyl. Veja detalhes da apresentação clicando aqui. Resumo em inglês: We consider the problem of modeling the demand using exponential smoothing forecasts methods and to evaluate and control it using combined Shewhart-CUSUM control charts, with control limits calculated by simulation for this specific application. This control chart acts as an alarm for the need of re-estimation of the exponential smoothing
