Major Benefits from Integrating Forecasting into the Decision Making Context

Keynote speech OR’08 Operational Research Conference, Augsburg, Germany

Prof. Robert Fildes was a keynote speaker in the Forecasting Track at the German OR Society conference. His theme was that there are major benefits to be gained from integrating forecasting into the decisions facing organisations. Call centre planning offers a particularly interesting example and this was explored by Xi Chen, a doctoral student with the department. For those interested, the review, Forecasting and OR, has been published in the Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2008.

Please contact Prof. Robert Fildes for the presentation or the paper.
