The primary purpose of this DAG is to train various forecasting models using features derived from historical sales data and other relevant metrics. The data sources include stored feature sets, which are ingested into the pipeline for processing. The workflow begins with data extraction, followed by preprocessing steps that clean and normalize the data, ensuring

The Sales Forecast Model Training Pipeline is designed to enhance the accuracy of sales predictions in the consumer products industry. The primary purpose of this DAG is to train various forecasting models using features derived from historical sales data and other relevant metrics. The data sources include stored feature sets, which are ingested into the pipeline for processing. The workflow begins with data extraction, followed by preprocessing steps that clean and normalize the data, ensuring high-quality input for model training. Next, the pipeline evaluates multiple machine learning algorithms to identify the best-performing model based on predefined performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall. Model versioning is an integral part of this process, allowing for easy rollback to previous versions if necessary. Once the optimal model is selected, the results are integrated into a model management system, facilitating deployment and monitoring. The pipeline also incorporates a robust alerting mechanism that notifies relevant teams in case of any failures during processing. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as model accuracy, training time, and alert frequency are monitored to ensure the pipeline operates efficiently. This DAG delivers significant business value by improving sales forecasting accuracy, enabling better inventory management, and enhancing overall decision-making processes within the consumer products sector.
