Challenge #147: EMEA Grand Prix Prelims - Time Series

[JimmyG]

Happy 2019! Your first weekly challenge of the year is a question from the 2018 EMEA Grand Prix preliminary round. You are tasked with building a time series model to predict how many units of a product should be stocked in the future to keep up with demand.

And, if you hadn't heard, we are hosting our first ever APAC Grand Prix at the Inspire on Tour event in Sydney on 21 March 2019. So if you plan to join us in Sydney, head over the Grand Prix blog and sign yourself up for the preliminary round.

I have used the imputation tool because first I have tried to use the TS Forecast Factory and some products have missing values.
