    abstract = {This research presents an application of artificial neural networks in demand forecasting by using
MATLAB Software. Keeping in mind that in any planning process forecasts play a fundamental role, being one
of the bases for; planning, organizing and controlling production. It gives priority to the most critical nodes and
their key activities, so that, the decisions made about them will generate the greatest possible positive impact.
The methodology applied demonstrates the quality of the solutions found which are compared with traditional
statistical methods to demonstrate the value of the solution proposed. When the results show that the minimum
quadratic error is reached with the application of artificial neural networks, a better performance is obtained.
Therefore, a suitable horizon is established for the planification and decision making in the metal-mechanical
industry for the use of artificial intelligence in the production processes.}
