After developing her 2013 forecast, Jamie Favre gets a visit from Cheeznax’s production manager, Mark Mobley. Mark says, “I think the forecast is fine, but I really need estimates of demand broken out by product type. In other words, how much of each month’s demand do we think will consist of cheese balls, cheese nachos, and cheese potato chips?” Jamie goes back to the
