Question

1. You check your forecast for the past three periods and you notice that your forecast is 10 units above the actual demand for all the three periods. Then you conclude that the tracking signal for your forecast is equal to? 2. Suppose a firm is using simple Exponential Smoothing to forecast a demand series where there is no seasonal pattern but there is a negative trend in demand. Then the forecast will be consistently higher than actual demand. T/F 3. In a distribution network with 3DCs, the addition of 2 more DCs with the assumption that demand at each DC is identically distributed and independent causes the total safety stock to increase by__? 4. A large distributor of chemicals is considering expanding their distribution network to go from 6 distribution centers up to 12. If they do this, what is a reasonable approximation of the change of safety stock? A. Go up by around 245% B. Go up by around 145% C. Go up by around 70% D. Go up by around 41% 1.
