The secret is to take constant readings of key variables of your business operations and use that data to find important patterns over time. This time series data can be used to predict what comes next as well as being an early warning system of when things aren’t happening like they should be.

‍Business applications of time series analysis

Time series analysis is used in assembly lines and heavy industry to monitor machine temperatures and energy consumption. You can predict future energy costs based on past numbers, and if the pattern is off, you may have a problem you need to look into.

Time series analysis is used to optimize pricing in the pharmaceutical industry. If you’re constantly bidding against multiple companies in a competitive market, you get a winning advantage when you have years and years of data on how your competitors bid and which prices one previous tenders.
