Nkosinathi Maduna has just been hired as a management analyst at Sibanye Digital Cell Phone Company Digital Cell manufactures a broad line of phones for the consumer market. Nkosinathi's boss,Siyabonga Zwane,chief operations officer, has asked Nkosinathi to stop by his office this moming. After a brief exchange of pleasantries over a cup of coffee,he says he has a special assignment for Nkosinathi: "We've always just made an educated guess about how many phones we need to make each month. Usually we just look at how many we sold last month and plan to produce about the same number. This sometimes works fine. But most months we either have too many phones in inventory or we are out of stock. Neither situation is good. Handing Nkosinathi the table shown below. Siyabonga Zwane continues, Here are our actual orders entered for the past 36 months. There are 144 phones per case.I was hoping that since you graduated recently from the Vaal University of Technology, you might have studied some techniques that would help us plan better. It has been awhile since I was in university-I think I forgot most of the details I leaned then. I would like you to analyse these data and give me an idea of what our business will look like over the next 6 to 11 months. Do you think you can handle this?" "Of course." Nkosinathi replies, sounding more confident than he really is. 'How much time do l have?" "I need your report on the Monday before Easter Holidays that would be April 11th I plan to take it home with me and read it during the holiday.Since I am sure you will not be around during the holiday, be sure that you explain things carefully so that I can understand your recommendation without having to ask you any more questions. Since you are new to the company you should know that I like to see all the details and complete justification for recommendations from my staff." With that,Nkosinathi was dismissed. Arriving back at his office he began his analysis. TABLE 1-Orders received by month.
