Intervention refers to disturbances caused by internal or external variables, such as market changes, international events, or policy shifts. The dataset used in this study contains three intervention events, referred to as a multi-input intervention. The data consist of car production figures from PT Astra Daihatsu Motor obtained from the official GAIKINDO website. The forecasting task focuses on predicting PT Astra Daihatsu Motor’s production, which was influenced by three major interventions: policy changes in 2013, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and the increase in SUV production in 2022. This study compares ARIMA and LSTM models for car production forecasting. The dataset covers monthly production data from January 2010 to June 2024, with a total of 174 observations. RMSE, MAPE, and SMAPE are employed as accuracy measures. Based on the testing data (May 2023–June 2024), the results show that the LSTM model outperforms ARIMA in capturing trend patterns, with lower error values of RMSE (4587.65), MAPE (10.37), and SMAPE (10.39), compared to ARIMA with RMSE (5059.48), MAPE (11.59), and SMAPE (10.50). Accordingly, LSTM represents a relevant and robust modeling alternative for production forecasting in operational decision-making, owing to its flexibility and strong capability in capturing complex data patterns.
