PLEASE DO NOT COPY FROM OTHER POSTS ON CHEGG BECAUSE THEY'RE DIFFERENT NUMBERS!!!
. An importer of television sets from the Far East distributes them throughout the European Union from four warehouses. Shipments are received monthly, and this months shipment is 137,000 sets. Due to the long lead time, demand and supply for the sets are hard to match. As such, an allocation to the warehouse is based on a monthly demand forecast and the service level for each warehouse. The inventory records and forecast for the coming month show the following situation:
| Warehouse | Quantity on hand, sets | Demand forecast, sets | Forecast error, sets | Service level |
| 1 | 1,800 | 28,000 | 1,100 | 92% |
| 2 | 1,400 | 22,000 | 1,700 | 95% |
| 3 | 2,200 | 9,000 | 2,100 | 97% |
| 4 | 1,700 | 19,000 | 2,400 | 96% |
How should the allocation of the sets be made to the warehouses? Please provide detailed calculation processes.
