CHAPTER ONE
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Time series is very important in business analysis, and it enables us to know the estimate of buyers’ demand for the product or service. Time series is different from random samples.
This is true particularly of certain set of economic data such as the cost of living or the consumption of alcohol. Statistical techniques cannot be applied to such data. The aim of this project is to look at method to treat data of this sort and one such method is that of Time Series. Time Series analysis helps to know the future (that is forecasting) has become more important issue in today’s world business environment. Time Series helps deal with the statistical techniques of analyzing past data and projecting them to obtain estimate to future value.
The basic purpose of time series analysis is to give management a convenient method of measuring changes in the business over a period of time and relating these changes to those in the economy. Time Series that measure changes in one’s own business are supplied by the internal records of the company, while information on changes in the whole industry and in business in general will come from various external sources. The special methods of time series analysis will be given detailed treatment in the following chapters.
DEFINITION OF TIME SERIES

1.5 LIMITATIONS AND PROBLEM OF THE STUDY
This basically remains the search for data due to the fact that there was the problem of not at- office by the workers. However, after a series of call backs, I was able to achieve my aims.
