Abstract

Firstly, this paper obtains the SKC from July 1, 2018 to October 1, 2018 and ranks the top 50 in cumulative sales through data preprocessing. By analyzing the four holidays in 2018 and other related factors, five factors are comprehensively selected, including the actual average cost price, label price, product sales characteristics, inventory information, holiday discount, and obtains the quantitative value of each factor;The factors affecting the sales volume are calculated by the linear regression model, and then the maximum influencing factors are obtained through the linear regression analysis,The inventory information has the lowest impact on sales volume. Secondly, through data preprocessing, we get the top ten categories with the historical sales time from June 1, 2019 to October 1, 2019, and find the monthly sales volume of these sub categories from January to September, 2019, and use this month's sales volume as the original forecast data; then analyze the original data,The results show that the sales volume has a cyclical trend of rising and falling with the change of time series, so a time series forecasting model with quadratic exponential smoothing is established. Finally, the original data is brought into the model to predict the sales volume of each month in the next three months, and the predicted results of each month are obtained, and the results are brought into the MAPE formula to calculate the MAPE of the predicted value of each month in the next three months
