the trend by free hand curve and comment on the trend by giving emphasis in the
component of time series and business cycle and comment on the companys
position and elaborate the stage or year of production according to the business
cycle.
(ii) Also find the trend of production by the method of a 3 yearly cycle and also
suggest the minimum and maximum level of production according to the time
series analysis and trend value for the company for the following data:

SUMMARY
TOOLS and TECHNIQUES used in solving the case study:
2. It helps in forecasting.
4. It helps in Comparison.
Ina time series secular trend means long term changes. In any time if we see the
changes between two periods, we will find increasing or decreasing or even a
constant trend.
(i)
Comment on trend with emphasis on component of
time series
By observing the trend line and trend analysis from the graph, we can clearly
depict that it is a secular or long term trend component of time series and by
observation, we can analyze that an increasing trend has been seen in production of
the company from the starting year i.e. 1986 to 2009 (ignoring the short term
fluctuations) and highs have been recorded in the year 1988, 1995, 1999(drastic),
2001, 2002, 2005 and 2007.

2008 & 2009.
By looking at the trend according to the business cycle, we observe that although
for five years companys production declined, even it felt in depression stage for
three years but overall, companys production have shown rapid improvement and
even prosperity.

(ii)
In the same way, by watching the trend analysis for 3 yearly moving
average, we can depict that the minimum level of production has been recorded
consistently for two years i.e. 2003 and 2004 which was 9 tonnes for both the years
and the maximum level of production has been recorded in the year 2008 which
was 13 tonnes.
If we compare the trend lines and trend analysis for both the graphs, we can clearly
remark that if the company would have produced as per the 3 yearly m.a. graph,
then it would have produced more in tones as compared to the production done by
the company from years 1986 to 2009.
REASON: As per the 3 yearly m.a. graph is concerned, it clearly shows that the
trend line has shown rapid growth significantly both for 3 yearly m.a. as well as for
original data.
