For many years, forecasting the sales has been thought as a significant fundamental for the companies that operate in fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Companies that are successful in predicting their sales, also have the strength to manage company’s financials. Also, companies have the chance to react to tough situations that they might face. In the academic literature, there exist many studies about forecasting the future of sales. However, there are limited studies about how the companies forecast their gross to net spending apart from gross sales. This thesis aims to present a model constituted from several steps of sales process and aims to contribute the academic literature with that model. It also analyzes the process of performing a sales organization in Turkey. The performance of this organization is affected by many materials such as goods’ costs, margins, foreign currency rates, strategy calls and order breakdown. These materials are studied in the light of the historical data which are hypothetical but related with FMCG sector. The impact of foreign exchange (FX) rate on the goods and its fluctuations are discussed alongside the gross to net forecasting for different type of orders. In forecasting, Geometric Brownian Motion and ARIMA models are used. Excess amount of gross to net spending is calculated by using Monte Carlo simulation, how the organization decides to pass over the excess amount is explained. Finally, different derivatives are suggested to help the organization to hedge its position.

ARIMA forecasting of primary energy demand by fuel in Turkey Ediger, Volkan S.; Akar, Sertac (2007-03-01) Forecasting of energy demand in emerging markets is one of the most important policy tools used by the decision makers all over the world. In Turkey, most of the early studies used include various forms of econometric modeling. However, since the estimated economic and demographic parameters usually deviate from the realizations, time-series forecasting appears to give better results. In this study, we used the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) methods to estimate ...
Uncertainty assessment for the evaluation of net present value: a mining industry perspective Erdem, Özge; Demirel, Nuray (2012-05-01) The investment decisionmaking process in the insurance and finance industries is affected by new advances such as simulation techniques. These advances have improved the discounted cash flow method (DCF). In DCF, a dynamic and flexible model construction is not possible because it does not consider uncertain conditions. Each project should be evaluated taking into account the related uncertainties because the related uncertainties determine the characterization of the project. Related uncertainties can be p...
Optimal Mechanisms to Match Supply and Demand in Contemporary Supply Chains (OPTCHAIN) Merzifonluoğlu, Yasemin(2016-2-07) Emerging production and information technologies have increased competition and consumer expectations, this leads to ever-shrinking product life cycles, volatile and unpredictable markets. In addition, natural disasters, accidents, supply disruptions increased the risk in today’s global and long supply chains. Keeping costs down and customers satisfied in a global marketplace requires companies to proactively manage supply and demand using state of art techniques, technologies and practices. This proposal d...
Dynamic correlations between oil prices and the stock prices of clean energy and technology firms: The role of reserve currency (US dollar) KOCAARSLAN, BARIŞ; Soytaş, Uğur (2019-10-01) There is increased interest in the dynamic relationships between the stock prices of clean energy and technology firms and oil prices in the literature. Existing works suggest a time-dependent link between them, but there is a gap of knowledge regarding the drivers of this time-dependent relationship. To contribute to this literature, we first identify dynamic conditional correlations (DCCs) between the prices of clean energy and technology stocks and oil prices to investigate the nature of these dynamic co...
Data-driven modeling using deep neural networks for power systems demand and locational marginal price forecasting Jimu, Honest; Fahrioğlu, Murat; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-9) Forecasting electricity demand and locational marginal prices (LMPs) have become critical components for power system security and management. Electricity Demand Forecasting (EDF) aids the utility in maximizing the use of power-generation plants and scheduling them for both reliability and cost-effectiveness. In this thesis, a novel Deep Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory (DNN-LSTM) forecasting model is suggested to improve accuracy and robustness for predicting hourly day ahead power system load and LMP...
