The Bass diffusion model is a growth model for the timing of initial purchase of new products. The underlining assumption is that the timing of initial purchase of a consumer relates to the number of previous buyers. Using coefficients of innovative and imitative behavior, the model yields good predictions of consumer durable goods but not only.

The simplest kind of break-even analysis does not explicitly incorporate the organization’s profit motive. The Break-Even Point for minimum acceptable return (BEPR) is reached when a sufficient quantity is sold so that the gross profit minus the minimum acceptable return is sufficient to recoup the fixed costs.

Examination of the error in forecasting permits the forecaster to evaluate whether the technique accurately mirrors the pattern exhibited in the sample observations. An evaluation of the reliability of any technique requires the specification of criteria; however, there is no generally acceptable best measure. In fact, there are a number of measures for assessing forecast accuracy.

The learning curve theory states that the time needed produce a successive unit should be smaller than the time needed to produce the previous unit. Comparing learning curves for different productions may highlight economical implications impacting on the cost of production, the effectiveness of production processes, and ultimately on the profit of organizations.

The Product Performance Index function (mmPRESS) is a basic ROI (Return on Investment) model based on the relationship between product contribution and resource used. PRESS was first developed by Hamelman and Mazze (1972) under the name Selection Index (SIN). Armstrong (1973) refined the index, and called it Direct Index (DIR), to handle the case of negative contribution margins, which the Hamelman and Mazze index fails to do.

The mmRELATIVE function divides an input value by the largest value in a range or by the average of all values in a range. The first instance can be used, for instance, to compute the relative market share of a brand.

The Sample Size function (mmSAMPLE) returns the sample size according to probabilistic assumptions, rather than ‘gut feeling’. It is mainly useful when planning survey studies, yet it can be applied to the design of experiments and other instances like, for instance, the planning of promotional activities.

The Minimum Sample for Significant Values function (mmMINSAMPLE) returns the minimum sample size required to establish if the difference between two proportions is statistically different. For instance, we test 2 product concepts with 2 different samples of 150 units each. 29% of the intrerviewees in sample 1 prefer Product A and 45% of the intrerviewees in sample 2 prefer Product B. At the 95% confidence level, mmSAMPLEMIN returns that at least 68 interviews are required. Our samples have 150, so we can state that Product B is preferred to Product A.

The Seasonality Indexes function (mmSEASON) returns seasonal indexes of time series. The knowledge of seasonal movements is typically applied to analyze past performance and change the pattern of production and distribution. The function mmSEASON can be applied to actual and forecasted sales (or other kind of time series) as well as to sales as a percentage of the sales trend.

The Significance Test function (mmSIGNIF) applies the Z test for homogeneity of two proportions to test the statistical significance of the difference between two proportions. It is often used to test the results of a contingency table as obtained from the cross tabulation of two variables measured during a survey study.

The Coefficient of Variation function (mmVARc) can be used to compare the relative dispersion of two or more distributions that are expressed in different units. For example, if the employees of a firm have a mean height of 1.79 mt with a standard deviation of 6 cm, but a mean weight of 89.4 kg with a standard deviation of 9.5 kg, we can say that heights are less varied than weights because the coefficients of variation are, respectively, 0.029 and 0.095.
