Tracking Signal: Given The Forecast Demand and Demand For Candies, Compute The Tracking Signal

The document provides sample data to compute the tracking signal given forecast and actual demand numbers. It includes tables with weeks, forecast, demand, error, running sum of forecast errors, absolute error, mean absolute deviation, and tracking signal for various products like candies, cellphones, jeans, etc. The tracking signal is calculated as the running sum of forecast errors divided by the mean absolute deviation.
