Rolling Horizon Modeling Options

This tab has options for use with the Rolling Horizon Modeling problem type.

Rolling Horizon Start Date

When using rolling horizon modeling, this date determines the start of the "planning horizon", at which point rolling horizon modeling starts. Rolling horizon modeling makes the safety stock placement decision in the "historic horizon", and lets you set time-phased safety stock level in the "planning horizon".

The Rolling Horizon Start Date must be within the model horizon.

Rolling Horizon Validation Start Date

When using rolling horizon validation, this date determines the start of the validation. Forecast data is used from this point through the end of the model horizon. This date is typically at the mid-point of the model horizon. Safety stock optimization (multi-echelon inventory optimization or MEIO) is automatically run from the start of the model horizon to the Rolling Horizon Validation Start Date.

The Rolling Horizon Validation Start Date must be within the model horizon.
