| Abstract |
Demand forecasting technology to manage product inventory and workforce in e-commerce fulfillment centers is very necessary. Demand forecasting analyzes customer order information from online and calculates manpower for picking and packing in the fulfillment center. And estimate the number of vehicles to deliver quickly. As such, demand forecasting is used to manage costs and resources within the fulfillment center. In particular, forecast results are increasingly important because they affect operating costs. We developed a demand forecasting method that can be used in e-commerce fulfillment businesses. The developed multi-combination demand forecasting technology is a method of optimizing the picking and packing work force in the fulfillment center and predicting the uncertainty of order forecasting due to online promotional events such as 1+1. This is expected to enable stable product release. |
