A$.$ Demand Forecasting $(3-$Month Moving Average$)$:

Using the $3-$month moving average method, forecast the demand for July. Use the following formula:

Forecast $=($D$\_($t$-1)+$D$\_($t$-2)+$D$\_($t$-3))/(3)$

Use April, May, and June for the forecast. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.

B$.$ Safety Stock Calculation:

If the lead time is one month, compute the safety stock using:

Safety Stock $=$Z$\backslash$times $\backslash$sigma $\backslash$times $\backslash$sqrt$($L$)$ead Time Fraction

Where Lead Time Fraction $=1\mathrm{.}0($one month$).$ Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. A$.$ Demand Forecasting $(3-$Month Moving Average$)$:

Using the $3-$month moving average method, forecast the demand for July. Use the following formula:

Forecast $=($D$\_($t$-1)+$D$\_($t$-2)+$D$\_($t$-3))/(3)$

Use April, May, and June values. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.

B$.$ Safety Stock Calculation:

Assuming a lead time of one month, calculate the safety stock using:

Safety Stock $=$Z$\backslash$times $\backslash$sigma $\backslash$times $\backslash$sqrt$($L$)$ead Time Fraction

Where Lead Time Fraction $=1\mathrm{.}0.$ Round your answer to the nearest whole number. A distribution center supplies home appliances to retail outlets and plans inventory based on monthly

demand projections. The operations team uses a $4-$month weighted moving average method for

forecasting, assigning weights of $0\mathrm{.}1,0\mathrm{.}2,0\mathrm{.}3,$ and $0\mathrm{.}4$ from oldest to most recent month. The actual

demand for the past seven months is given below. The center also wants to determine the safety stock

level for its target service level. The standard deviation of monthly demand is $60$ units, and the service

level goal is $97\mathrm{.}5\%,$ corresponding to a Z$-$value of $1\mathrm{.}96.$

A$.$ Demand Forecasting $(4-$Month Weighted Moving Average$)$:

Using the $4-$month weighted moving average method, forecast demand for June. Use the formula:

Forecast $=($D$\_($t$-4)\backslash$times $0\mathrm{.}1)+($D$\_($t$-3)\backslash$times $0\mathrm{.}2)+($D$\_($t$-2)\backslash$times $0\mathrm{.}3)+($D$\_($t$-1)\backslash$times $0\mathrm{.}4)$

Use February to May values. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

B$.$ Safety Stock Calculation:

Assuming a lead time of two weeks, calculate the safety stock using:

Safety Stock $=$Z$\backslash$times $\backslash$sigma $\backslash$times $\backslash$sqrt$($L$)$ead Time Fraction

Lead Time Fraction $=0\mathrm{.}5.$ Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. A$.$ Demand Forecasting $($Exponential Smoothing$)$:

Using exponential smoothing, forecast demand for April. Use the recursive formula:

F$\_($t$)=\backslash$alpha D$\_($t$-1)+(1-\backslash$alpha $)$F$\_($t$-1)$

Start from October and calculate up to March. Round the April forecast to the nearest whole number.

B$.$ Safety Stock Calculation:

If the lead time is three weeks, calculate the safety stock using:

Safety Stock $=$Z$\backslash$times $\backslash$sigma $\backslash$times $\backslash$sqrt$($L$)$ead Time Fraction

Lead Time Fraction $=0\mathrm{.}75.$ Round the final result to the nearest whole number.Inventory Review and Replenishment Process

A regional distribution center follows a routine inventory review process for

multiple electronic products. The team uses a fixed reorder point $($R$2$P$)$ policy

and checks inventory levels at regular intervals. The process begins by

reviewin
