Introduction

The datasets provided here are simulated to mimic the type of data that a manufacurer or retailer might actually use. These simulated datasets allow the scripts to be run to replicate a real world process. A data scientist can replace these simulated datasets with their own data of the same form to initiate their forecasting.
