The invention further determines order values of order quantities for each forecast value depending on a respective forecast value, stock keeping costs and ordering costs. The invention further determines an associated order quantity time span for each order value. The invention further determines a respective pair of forecast value and order value with the least deviation between forecast time span and order quantity time span from forecast values, forecast values respective forecast time spans, the order values and the order values respectively associated with order quantity time spans. The invention further processes the determined pair of forecast value and determined order value.
