ABSTRACT

Spare parts consumption prediction lays a foundation for spare parts support. This paper combined the exponential smoothing method with a grey model to establish a combined model. The combined model solved the problem of spare parts consumption prediction. The example indicated that the combined model is much more accurate than a single model.
