The main goal of this article is to evaluate the complementation between forecasting techniques, in particular Neural Networks. The environment of the application is a foreign industrial sector, sales of beer in Australia. Most of the forecasting models act in a separate way, that is, treating problems through different views that exclude one another. The suggestion of this work is to use the methods in a cooperative way, looking forward to achieve better results. The article begins with some considerations on Time Series Studies, followed by a brief characterization of Neural Networks and the other methods used on this work. Continuing, the case is presented and discussed and finishing, conclusions and a list of references.
