Croston (1972) [2] presented an idea and method to separate ordinary exponential smoothing in two parts;In the time between demand, or withdrawals, and demand size. The idea with the modification in Levén and Segerstedt (2004) [3] is that time between demand and demand size is not independent. But this modification has shown poor results. Therefore Wallström and Segerstedt (2010) [8] suggest another modification, "forward coverage". By applying moving average of past two months demands to "forward Coverage" (Wallström and Segerstedt (2010)) [8] method, shows that the new one produces better forecast, if the time between demands and demanded quantity are not independent. The different techniques are compared Mean Squared Error (MSE).
