Abstract:To improve the efficiency of forecasting demand and optimize stock management of all corporations in distribution chain,a single-echelon forecasting model based on the Adaptive Neural-fuzzy Inference System(ANFIS) and a multi-echelon forecasting model based on cost objective function are introduced.Fuzzy inference mechanism of ANFIS is used to fulfill a capacity of non-linear mapping between Input and output layer,and ability of information storing and learning of neural network.An optimization objection model is built to minimize total expected cost,and Genetic Algorithm(GA) is adopted to obtain the optimization.The results show that ANFIS is more accurate comparing with BP neural network.In the degree,multistage amplifier phenomenon of ordering variation is mitigated in distribution chain.
