FORECAST OF PORT THROUGHPUT BASED ON SPREADSHEET

摘要

Forecasting throughput properly is important for port operation and development. Spreadsheet Method is an effective method of research and application in management science. For forecasting and testing the throughput of Nantong port with Trend Forecast Technology, we use the model of least mean square fitted by orthogonal functions. Then we perform the modelling and calculation using Spreadsheet. The result indicates that the model fits the historical data properly and is effective to forecast the throughput in the future.
