71-594: The company was registered in 1993 as a sales company, and opened its manufacturing plant in 2000. At its height, GM Thailand exported vehicles to most regions in the world, including South America, Central America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia and Japan. In February 2020, GM announced that it would withdraw from the Thai market and the Rayong plant would be acquired by Great Wall Motors by

142-412: A building or set of buildings where large amounts of goods are made using machines elsewhere: ... the utilization of machines presupposes social cooperation and the division of labour The first machine is stated by one source to have been traps used to assist with the capturing of animals, corresponding to the machine as a mechanism operating independently or with very little force by interaction from

213-502: A critical part of modern economic production , with the majority of the world's goods being created or processed within factories. Factories arose with the introduction of machinery during the Industrial Revolution , when the capital and space requirements became too great for cottage industry or workshops. Early factories that contained small amounts of machinery, such as one or two spinning mules , and fewer than

284-481: A date for cooperation and factors of demand, by an increased community size and population to make something like factory level production a conceivable necessity. Archaeologist Bonnet, unearthed the foundations of numerous workshops in the city of Kerma proving that as early as 2000 BC Kerma was a large urban capital. The watermill was first made in the Persian Empire some time before 350 BC. In

355-413: A dozen workers have been called "glorified workshops". Most modern factories have large warehouses or warehouse-like facilities that contain heavy equipment used for assembly line production. Large factories tend to be located with access to multiple modes of transportation, some having rail , highway and water loading and unloading facilities. In some countries like Australia, it is common to call

426-835: A factory building a " Shed ". Factories may either make discrete products or some type of continuously produced material, such as chemicals , pulp and paper , or refined oil products . Factories manufacturing chemicals are often called plants and may have most of their equipment – tanks , pressure vessels , chemical reactors , pumps and piping – outdoors and operated from control rooms . Oil refineries have most of their equipment outdoors. Discrete products may be final goods , or parts and sub-assemblies which are made into final products elsewhere. Factories may be supplied parts from elsewhere or make them from raw materials . Continuous production industries typically use heat or electricity to transform streams of raw materials into finished products. The term mill originally referred to

497-523: A good indicator of future demand. Some forecasting methods try to identify the underlying factors that might influence the variable that is being forecast. For example, including information about climate patterns might improve the ability of a model to predict umbrella sales. Forecasting models often take account of regular seasonal variations. In addition to climate, such variations can also be due to holidays and customs: for example, one might predict that sales of college football apparel will be higher during

568-425: A human, with a capacity for use repeatedly with operation exactly the same on every occasion of functioning. The wheel was invented c.  3000 BC , the spoked wheel c.  2000 BC . The Iron Age began approximately 1200–1000 BC. However, other sources define machinery as a means of production. Archaeology provides a date for the earliest city as 5000 BC as Tell Brak (Ur et al. 2006), therefore

639-658: A manufacturing plant in Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate in Rayong for its Southeast Asian expansion. Investment to neighbouring Indonesia was ruled out due to the requirement of 60 percent local content imposed by the Indonesian government, while the Thailand government granted GM's request to drop the local content requirement. The site is located right next to AutoAlliance Thailand ,

710-503: A method, is by visiting a selection tree. An example of a selection tree can be found here. Forecasting has application in many situations: In several cases, the forecast is either more or less than a prediction of the future. In Philip E. Tetlock 's Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction , he discusses forecasting as a method of improving the ability to make decisions. A person can become better calibrated — i.e. having things they give 10% credence to happening 10% of

781-535: A more contemporary approach to handle design applicable to manufacturing facilities can be found in Socio-Technical Systems (STS) . In Britain, a shadow factory is one of a number of manufacturing sites built in dispersed locations in times of war to reduce the risk of disruption due to enemy air-raids and often with the dual purpose of increasing manufacturing capacity. Before World War II Britain had built many shadow factories . Production of

852-617: A plant jointly owned by fellow Detroit carmaker , Ford Motor Company along with Mazda. Modelled after GM's Eisenach plant in Germany , the Rayong plant was scheduled to produce 100,000 to 150,000 vehicles annually, with 80 percent of these to be exported. The plant was opened in May 2000, producing the Chevrolet Zafira . The Zafira was exported to the neighbouring Southeast Asian countries and Mexico, and also exported to Australia as

923-641: A rate sufficient to meet the needs of 80,000 persons, in the Roman Empire. The large population increase in medieval Islamic cities, such as Baghdad 's 1.5 million population, led to the development of large-scale factory milling installations with higher productivity to feed and support the large growing population. A tenth-century grain-processing factory in the Egyptian town of Bilbays , for example, milled an estimated 300 tons of grain and flour per day. Both watermills and windmills were widely used in

994-400: A relationship into the future, without necessarily understanding the reasons for the relationship. Causal methods include: Quantitative forecasting models are often judged against each other by comparing their in-sample or out-of-sample mean square error , although some researchers have advised against this. Different forecasting approaches have different levels of accuracy. For example, it

1065-680: A restructuring plan for its Thailand operations in February 2015. The plan included phasing out passenger cars and focusing on SUVs and pickups instead. As a result, the Sonic was discontinued in May 2015 and the Cruze followed in 2017. Later, GM Thailand also stopped production of the Captiva in 2018, leaving the Trailblazer SUV and Colorado pickup in the line-up. GM executives were considering

1136-553: A sequence and the "moment" or "index". This type of extrapolation has 100% accuracy in predictions in a big percentage of known series database (OEIS). The forecast error (also known as a residual ) is the difference between the actual value and the forecast value for the corresponding period: where E is the forecast error at period t, Y is the actual value at period t, and F is the forecast for period t. A good forecasting method will yield residuals that are uncorrelated . If there are correlations between residual values, then there

1207-408: A wide range of fields where estimates of future conditions are useful. Depending on the field, accuracy varies significantly. If the factors that relate to what is being forecast are known and well understood and there is a significant amount of data that can be used, it is likely the final value will be close to the forecast. If this is not the case or if the actual outcome is affected by the forecasts,

1278-399: Is where m {\displaystyle m} =seasonal period and k {\displaystyle k} is the smallest integer greater than ( h − 1 ) / m {\displaystyle (h-1)/m} . The seasonal naïve method is particularly useful for data that has a very high level of seasonality. A deterministic approach is when there

1349-561: Is a rebadged Baojun 530/Wuling Almaz . On 17 February 2020, Andy Dunstan, President of GM Strategic Markets, Alliances and Distributors, announced that Chevrolet would be withdrawn from the Thai domestic vehicle market and GM would cease vehicle and powertrain production at the Rayong manufacturing facilities. Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor agreed to acquire the plant by the end of 2020 to help its expansion in ASEAN . This decision also led to

1420-701: Is generally considered a good practice to indicate the degree of uncertainty attaching to forecasts. In any case, the data must be up to date in order for the forecast to be as accurate as possible. In some cases the data used to predict the variable of interest is itself forecast. A forecast is not to be confused with a Budget; budgets are more specific, fixed-term financial plans used for resource allocation and control, while forecasts provide estimates of future financial performance, allowing for flexibility and adaptability to changing circumstances. Both tools are valuable in financial planning and decision-making, but they serve different functions. Forecasting has applications in

1491-449: Is information left in the residuals which should be used in computing forecasts. This can be accomplished by computing the expected value of a residual as a function of the known past residuals, and adjusting the forecast by the amount by which this expected value differs from zero. A good forecasting method will also have zero mean . If the residuals have a mean other than zero, then the forecasts are biased and can be improved by adjusting

1562-661: Is no stochastic variable involved and the forecasts depend on the selected functions and parameters. For example, given the function The short term behaviour x t {\displaystyle x_{t}} and the is the medium-long term trend y t {\displaystyle y_{t}} are where α , γ , β , μ , η {\displaystyle \alpha ,\gamma ,\beta ,\mu ,\eta } are some parameters. This approach has been proposed to simulate bursts of seemingly stochastic activity, interrupted by quieter periods. The assumption

1633-421: Is only suitable for time series data . Using the naïve approach, forecasts are produced that are equal to the last observed value. This method works quite well for economic and financial time series, which often have patterns that are difficult to reliably and accurately predict. If the time series is believed to have seasonality, the seasonal naïve approach may be more appropriate where the forecasts are equal to

1704-460: Is that chartists study only the price action of a market, whereas fundamentalists attempt to look to the reasons behind the action. Financial institutions assimilate the evidence provided by their fundamental and chartist researchers into one note to provide a final projection on the currency in question. Forecasting has also been used to predict the development of conflict situations. Forecasters perform research that uses empirical results to gauge

1775-401: Is that the presence of a strong deterministic ingredient is hidden by noise. The deterministic approach is noteworthy as it can reveal the underlying dynamical systems structure, which can be exploited for steering the dynamics into a desired regime. Time series methods use historical data as the basis of estimating future outcomes. They are based on the assumption that past demand history is

1846-478: Is the past data. Although the time series notation has been used here, the average approach can also be used for cross-sectional data (when we are predicting unobserved values; values that are not included in the data set). Then, the prediction for unobserved values is the average of the observed values. Naïve forecasts are the most cost-effective forecasting model, and provide a benchmark against which more sophisticated models can be compared. This forecasting method

1917-509: Is the process of making predictions based on past and present data. Later these can be compared with what actually happens. For example, a company might estimate their revenue in the next year, then compare it against the actual results creating a variance actual analysis. Prediction is a similar but more general term. Forecasting might refer to specific formal statistical methods employing time series , cross-sectional or longitudinal data, or alternatively to less formal judgmental methods or

1988-845: The Delphi method , market research , and historical life-cycle analogy. Quantitative forecasting models are used to forecast future data as a function of past data. They are appropriate to use when past numerical data is available and when it is reasonable to assume that some of the patterns in the data are expected to continue into the future. These methods are usually applied to short- or intermediate-range decisions. Examples of quantitative forecasting methods are last period demand, simple and weighted N-Period moving averages , simple exponential smoothing , Poisson process model based forecasting and multiplicative seasonal indexes. Previous research shows that different methods may lead to different level of forecasting accuracy. For example, GMDH neural network

2059-496: The Supermarine Spitfire at its parent company's base at Woolston, Southampton was vulnerable to enemy attack as a high-profile target and was well within range of Luftwaffe bombers. Indeed, on 26 September 1940 this facility was completely destroyed by an enemy bombing raid. Supermarine had already established a plant at Castle Bromwich ; this action prompted them to further disperse Spitfire production around

2130-727: The VY and VZ model series. Exports lasted until 2005. Following GM's acquisition of Daewoo Motors , GM Thailand started manufacturing several Chevrolet-badged Daewoo subcompact and compact passenger cars, starting from the Chevrolet Optra sedan in June 2003, Optra estate in March 2005, and both Aveo sedan and Captiva in June 2007. For one-ton pickups, GM Thailand manufactured the Colorado , an Isuzu -derived pickup from March 2004. It

Later generations of factories included mechanized shoe production and manufacturing of machinery, including machine tools. After this came factories that supplied the railroad industry included rolling mills, foundries and locomotive works, along with agricultural-equipment factories that produced cast-steel plows and reapers. Bicycles were mass-produced beginning in

2272-484: The milling of grain , which usually used natural resources such as water or wind power until those were displaced by steam power in the 19th century. Because many processes like spinning and weaving, iron rolling , and paper manufacturing were originally powered by water, the term survives as in steel mill , paper mill , etc. Max Weber considered production during ancient and medieval times as never warranting classification as factories, with methods of production and

2343-451: The 1880s. The Nasmyth, Gaskell and Company's Bridgewater Foundry , which began operation in 1836, was one of the earliest factories to use modern materials handling such as cranes and rail tracks through the buildings for handling heavy items. Large scale electrification of factories began around 1900 after the development of the AC motor which was able to run at constant speed depending on

2414-450: The Egyptian pharaoh, with slave employment and no differentiation of skills within the slave group comparable to modern definitions as division of labour . According to translations of Demosthenes and Herodotus, Naucratis was a, or the only, factory in the entirety of ancient Egypt . A source of 1983 (Hopkins), states the largest factory production in ancient times was of 120 slaves within fourth century BC Athens. An article within

Although The Cambridge Online Dictionary definition of factory states:

2698-650: The Trax subcompact SUV to be produced in the country. However, a business case for the Trax could not be justified due to thin margins and low sales forecast . In March 2019, the company announced its plan to market the second generation Captiva in Thailand. It was showcased at the Bangkok International Motor Show 2019 and released to the market in September 2019. Imported from Indonesia, the car

Working hours were as long as they had been for the farmer, that is, from dawn to dusk, six days per week. Overall, this practice essentially reduced skilled and unskilled workers to replaceable commodities. Arkwright's factory was

GM Thailand's last vehicle, a blue Chevrolet Colorado, rolled off the Rayong line in May 2020 as the 934,758th Colorado produced by GM Thailand. Factory A factory , manufacturing plant or production plant is an industrial facility, often a complex consisting of several buildings filled with machinery , where workers manufacture items or operate machines which process each item into another. They are

3124-534: The earliest factories was John Lombe 's water-powered silk mill at Derby , operational by 1721. By 1746, an integrated brass mill was working at Warmley near Bristol . Raw material went in at one end, was smelted into brass and was turned into pans, pins, wire, and other goods. Housing was provided for workers on site. Josiah Wedgwood in Staffordshire and Matthew Boulton at his Soho Manufactory were other prominent early industrialists, who employed

3195-407: The effectiveness of certain forecasting models. However research has shown that there is little difference between the accuracy of the forecasts of experts knowledgeable in the conflict situation and those by individuals who knew much less. Similarly, experts in some studies argue that role thinking — standing in other people's shoes to forecast their decisions — does not contribute to the accuracy of

3266-527: The end of 2020. The company continued to support existing Chevrolet owners for ongoing aftersales, warranty and service. General Motors cars, particularly Opel and Holden cars were assembled in Thailand from 1970 through several local assemblers, including Bangchan General Assembly and Asoke Motors. Several models assembled in the era were the Holden Monaro LS , Chevrolet De Ville and Opel Rekord . In May 1996, General Motors decided to build

3337-566: The factory concept in the early 20th century, with the innovation of the mass production . Highly specialized laborers situated alongside a series of rolling ramps would build up a product such as (in Ford's case) an automobile . This concept dramatically decreased production costs for virtually all manufactured goods and brought about the age of consumerism . In the mid - to late 20th century, industrialized countries introduced next-generation factories with two improvements: Some speculation as to

3408-467: The factory system. The factory system began widespread use somewhat later when cotton spinning was mechanized. Richard Arkwright is the person credited with inventing the prototype of the modern factory. After he patented his water frame in 1769, he established Cromford Mill , in Derbyshire , England, significantly expanding the village of Cromford to accommodate the migrant workers new to

3479-405: The first and last observation, and extrapolating it into the future. The seasonal naïve method accounts for seasonality by setting each prediction to be equal to the last observed value of the same season. For example, the prediction value for all subsequent months of April will be equal to the previous value observed for April. The forecast for time T + h {\displaystyle T+h}

3550-427: The first successful cotton spinning factory in the world; it showed unequivocally the way ahead for industry and was widely copied. Between 1770 and 1850 mechanized factories supplanted traditional artisan shops as the predominant form of manufacturing institution, because the larger-scale factories enjoyed a significant technological and supervision advantage over the small artisan shops. The earliest factories (using

3621-458: The focus of labour, in general, shifted to central-city office towers or to semi-rural campus-style establishments, and many factories stood deserted in local rust belts . The next blow to the traditional factories came from globalization . Manufacturing processes (or their logical successors, assembly plants) in the late 20th century re-focussed in many instances on Special Economic Zones in developing countries or on maquiladoras just across

3692-432: The football season than during the off season. Several informal methods used in causal forecasting do not rely solely on the output of mathematical algorithms , but instead use the judgment of the forecaster. Some forecasts take account of past relationships between variables: if one variable has, for example, been approximately linearly related to another for a long period of time, it may be appropriate to extrapolate such

3763-425: The forecast. An important, albeit often ignored aspect of forecasting, is the relationship it holds with planning . Forecasting can be described as predicting what the future will look like, whereas planning predicts what the future should look like. There is no single right forecasting method to use. Selection of a method should be based on your objectives and your conditions (data etc.). A good place to find

3834-1578: The forecasting technique by an additive constant that equals the mean of the unadjusted residuals. Measures of aggregate error: The forecast error, E, is on the same scale as the data, as such, these accuracy measures are scale-dependent and cannot be used to make comparisons between series on different scales. Mean absolute error (MAE) or mean absolute deviation (MAD):   M A E = M A D = ∑ t = 1 N | E t | N {\displaystyle \ MAE=MAD={\frac {\sum _{t=1}^{N}|E_{t}|}{N}}} Mean squared error (MSE) or mean squared prediction error (MSPE):   M S E = M S P E = ∑ t = 1 N E t 2 N {\displaystyle \ MSE=MSPE={\frac {\sum _{t=1}^{N}{E_{t}^{2}}}{N}}} Root mean squared error (RMSE):   R M S E = ∑ t = 1 N E t 2 N {\displaystyle \ RMSE={\sqrt {\frac {\sum _{t=1}^{N}{E_{t}^{2}}}{N}}}} Average of Errors (E):   E ¯ = ∑ i = 1 N E i N {\displaystyle \ {\bar {E}}={\frac {\sum _{i=1}^{N}{E_{i}}}{N}}} These are more frequently used to compare forecast performance between different data sets because they are scale-independent. However, they have

3905-429: The form of a kind of "laboratory factories", with management models that allow "producing with quality while experimenting to do it better tomorrow". Before the advent of mass transportation , factories' needs for ever-greater concentrations of labourers meant that they typically grew up in an urban setting or fostered their own urbanization . Industrial slums developed, and reinforced their own development through

3976-458: The future of the factory includes scenarios with rapid prototyping , nanotechnology , and orbital zero- gravity facilities. There is some scepticism about the development of the factories of the future if the robotic industry is not matched by a higher technological level of the people who operate it. According to some authors, the four basic pillars of the factories of the future are strategy, technology, people and habitability, which would take

4047-533: The groceries retail industry, has observed that all the retailers who fall within the scope of his regulation "are striving for continuous improvement in forecasting practice and activity in relation to promotions". Qualitative forecasting techniques are subjective, based on the opinion and judgment of consumers and experts; they are appropriate when past data are not available. They are usually applied to intermediate- or long-range decisions. Examples of qualitative forecasting methods are informed opinion and judgment,

4118-510: The interactions between factories, as when one factory's output or waste-product became the raw materials of another factory (preferably nearby). Canals and railways grew as factories spread, each clustering around sources of cheap energy, available materials and/or mass markets. The exception proved the rule: even greenfield factory sites such as Bournville , founded in a rural setting, developed their own housing and profited from convenient communications systems. Regulation curbed some of

4189-539: The main motivation is generally financial. Finally, futarchy is a form of government where forecasts of the impact of government action are used to decide which actions are taken. Rather than advice, in futarchy's strongest form, the action with the best forecasted result is automatically taken. Forecast improvement projects have been operated in a number of sectors: the National Hurricane Center 's Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP) and

4260-465: The national boundaries of industrialized states. Further re-location to the least industrialized nations appears possible as the benefits of out-sourcing and the lessons of flexible location apply in the future. Much of management theory developed in response to the need to control factory processes. Assumptions on the hierarchies of unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled laborers and their supervisors and managers still linger on; however an example of

At first larger motors were added to line shafts , but as soon as small horsepower motors became widely available, factories switched to unit drive. Eliminating line shafts freed factories of layout constraints and allowed factory layout to be more efficient. Electrification enabled sequential automation using relay logic . Henry Ford further revolutionized

4402-455: The process of prediction and assessment of its accuracy. Usage can vary between areas of application: for example, in hydrology the terms "forecast" and "forecasting" are sometimes reserved for estimates of values at certain specific future times, while the term "prediction" is used for more general estimates, such as the number of times floods will occur over a long period. Risk and uncertainty are central to forecasting and prediction; it

4473-465: The reliability of the forecasts can be significantly lower. Climate change and increasing energy prices have led to the use of Egain Forecasting for buildings. This attempts to reduce the energy needed to heat the building, thus reducing the emission of greenhouse gases . Forecasting is used in customer demand planning in everyday business for manufacturing and distribution companies. While

The Barbegal aqueduct and mills are an industrial complex from the second century AD found in southern France. By the time of the fourth century AD, there was a water-milling installation with a capacity to grind 28 tons of grain per day,

4615-444: The time. Or they can forecast things more confidently — coming to the same conclusion but earlier. Some have claimed that forecasting is a transferable skill with benefits to other areas of discussion and decision making. Betting on sports or politics is another form of forecasting. Rather than being used as advice, bettors are paid based on if they predicted correctly. While decisions might be made based on these bets (forecasts),

4686-408: The value from last season. In time series notation: A variation on the naïve method is to allow the forecasts to increase or decrease over time, where the amount of change over time (called the drift ) is set to be the average change seen in the historical data. So the forecast for time T + h {\displaystyle T+h} is given by This is equivalent to drawing a line between

Such analysis is provided by both non-profit groups as well as by for-profit private institutions. Forecasting foreign exchange movements is typically achieved through a combination of historical and current data (summarized in charts) and fundamental analysis . An essential difference between chart analysis and fundamental economic analysis

Located adjacent to the assembly plant, the plant was opened in 2011 as the General Motors Powertrain (Thailand) Limited. It produced the 2.5 L and 2.8 L Duramax diesel engine , later also exported to the United States . After losing market share for years, GM announced

4970-478: Was found in one context that GMDH has higher forecasting accuracy than traditional ARIMA. Judgmental forecasting methods incorporate intuitive judgement, opinions and subjective probability estimates. Judgmental forecasting is used in cases where there is a lack of historical data or during completely new and unique market conditions. Judgmental methods include: Often these are done today by specialized programs loosely labeled Can be created with 3 points of
