Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (C-LSTM) For Multi Product Prediction

Abstract

The retail company PT Terang Abadi Raya has a solid commitment to supporting distributors of LED lights and electrical equipment who have joined them, helping to spread their products widely in various regions. To face increasingly intense market competition, it is essential to produce high-quality products to win the competition and meet consumer demands. To achieve this, efficient production planning is necessary. The Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (C-LSTM) method is used in this study to forecast product sales at PT Terang Abadi Raya. The research results show that C-LSTM has the potential to predict sales effectively. Evaluation is conducted using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The calculations reveal that the smallest values are obtained at epoch 10, with an MAE of 0.1051 and a MAPE of 22% in the testing data. For the cable data, the smallest values are found at epoch 100, with an MAE of 0.0602 and a MAPE of 44% in the testing data. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) method with ten neurons produces the most minor errors during training.
