With contents please. Company of your choice. References and citations with the Harvard system , if you go online , please indicate the date and time. Please leave a blank page at the front so I can modify the cover. Thank you Good evening, for this particular assignment, I am attaching some of the slides from the course. Notice the headings on the slides where they show the structure and what we want to capture. You can choose a company here if you like, and it’s Greek. As we know, people react to change by getting out of their comfort zone. We can also show that a company, for example a family company, could not absorb the change because people did not follow. It’s useful to take ideas from these slides and include terms from them. Thank youWe can’t use the same company as before

Prof. Eixenberger and Classmates,
Forecasting Defined
Forecasting is a science but also an art. Sales needs to forecast demand so that production can begin to plan for what they need to meet the forecast goal. Their are many different forecasts such as strategic forecasts which are medium and long -term forecasts that are used related to strategy and aggregate demand. Tactical forecasts focus on the day-to-day operations of an organization and are short term. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques are used to evaluate what forecasting process should be used. Forecasting is classified into four different models such as time series analysis stating that past demand can predict future demand. Past demand includes, trends, seasonal, and cyclical influences. Causal forecasting assumes that demand is caused by an underlying factor and uses linear regression. Simulation forecasting runs through a range of different assumptions of the forecast. Qualitative and time series are the most commonly used for decision making. Demand Components
Demand components are broken down into six components which are average demand for the period, a trend, a seasonal element, cyclical elements, random variation, and auto-correlation. Cyclical factors are difficult to determine and influences come from political elections, war, economic conditions or sociological pressures. Random variations are just that random, by chance events. When all the other components of demand are subtracted random variations are left because they are based on chance and the unexplained portion of why demand did or did not occur. Auto-correlation is represented by how often occurrences happen. Trend lines remind me of trajectories in health care. They follow a specific pattern. As a hospice nurse we know that if someone has COPD that they have an up and down trajectory that slowly declines over time based on exacerbations of the disease process unlike Alzheimers or dementia which has a slow decline consistent but slow along with MS and Parkinson’s. Forecasting Methods
One method of forecasting plots data points and then searches for the trajectory of the points that fit best. Time series forecasting has different lengths of time in which someone calculates the future demand with. For example short term forecasting reviews under three months, medium forecasting is three months to two years and long-term forecasting is greater than two years. Short term models measure current variability in demand which works for having inventory back up just in case. Medium term captures the affects of seasons and holidays on demand and long-term models detect general trends and can see major events in the behavior of demand. Certain forecasting methods require a minimum of historical data before being represented well. For example a simple moving average requires 6-12 months of weekly data. A weighted moving average and simple exponential smoothing and exponential smoothing with trend requires 5 to 10 observations needed to start. Linear regression requires 10-20 observations and trend and seasonal models require 2 to 3 observations per season. When choosing a method an organization considers time horizon to forecast, data availability, accuracy required, size of forecasting budget, and availability of qualified personnel.
Monthly forecasts are appropriate for budgets and weekly forecasts are appropriate for inventory. In a department store a weighted average with percentages taken on current and past months and combined to give a forecast of the next month. With the most recent past being the indicator that has the most weight, lessening the further back one goes. Seasonal trends must be taken into account based on service or product providing. This concept makes exponential smoothing the most used in forecasting. They are accurate, easy to calculate, small storage requirements, and it can be tested for accuracy. Smoothing takes into account previous forecast, current data and then determines what the reaction rate should be. The more growth a company is experiencing the higher the reaction rate should be. Smoothing constants reduce the impact of the error of the forecast and actual demand creating an appropriate demand for the next time period. (MY HEAD HURTS UUUUGGHH!!) Linear regression analysis explores relationships between two or more correlated variables created from observed data. Linear regression is used for time series forecasting and causal relationship forecasting. The number of deaths from lung cancer would increase with smokers would be an example of a causal relationship (Jacobs & Chase, 2020). I need to keep studying this its always the math that I struggle with but enjoy if that makes any sense. Thanks for reading my post. Reference

Case: Customer Focus at Amazon.com
Warren Buffett, the well-known financier and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has never been a big backer of technology businesses. However,
he owns $459 million worth of Amazon.com’s bonds, making him one of
Amazon’s biggest debt holders. Buffet observes, “I’ve been using a
computer for eight or ten years now and I still really pay for only
three things on the Internet:
The
Wall Street Journal, online bridge, and books from Amazon.com. That
they are one of only three companies online that have gotten money out
of my pocket tells me they are doing something
right.” The concept of Amazon began in 1994 when Jeff Bezos, its
founder and CEO, read a study that predicted the Internet would explode
in popularity. He settled on selling books online because almost every
book was already catalogued electronically, yet no physical bookstore
could carry them all. Bezos has a rare talent for a relentless focus on
the customer, and a studied disregard for short-term pressures to show
results on the “bottom line.” The original Amazon model envisioned
giving customers access to a gigantic selection without the time,
expense, and hassle of opening stores and warehouses and dealing with
inventory. However, Bezos quickly discovered that the only way to make
sure customers get a good experience and that Amazon gets inventory at
good prices was to operate his own warehouses so he could control the
transaction from start to finish. In its 2002 Annual Report a letter
from the 1997 Annual Report was reproduced, explaining Amazon’s
customer-focused philosophy in these words:
From the beginning, our focus has been on offering our customers compelling value. We realized that the Web was, and still is, the World Wide Wait. Therefore, we set out to offer customers something they simply could not get any other way, and began serving them with books. We brought them much more selection than was possible in a physical store (our store would
now occupy 6 football fields), and presented it in a useful,
easy-to-search, and easy-to browse format in a store open 365 days a
year, 24 hours a day. We maintained a dogged focus on improving the
shopping experience, and in 1997 substantially enhanced our store. We
now offer customers gift certificates, 1-ClickSM shopping, and vastly
more reviews, content, browsing options, and recommendation features. We dramatically lowered prices, further increasing customer
value. Word of mouth remains the most powerful customer acquisition
tool we have, and we are grateful for the trust our customers have
placed in us. Repeat purchases and word of mouth have combined to make
Amazon.com the market leader in online bookselling.
In its 2002 Annual Report, Bezos’s letter made numerous points to explain how that
vision of customer service had developed and expanded, including:
We have deep selection that is unconstrained by shelf space.
We turn our inventory 19 times in a year.
We personalize the store for each and every customer.
We trade real estate for technology (which gets cheaper and more capable every year).
We display customer reviews critical of our products.
You can make a purchase with a few seconds and one click.
We put used products next to new ones so you can choose.
We share our prime real estate, our product detail pages, with third parties, and, if they
can offer better value, we let them.
Customer experience costs that remain variable, such as the variable portion of
fulfillment costs, improve in our model as we reduce defects. Eliminating defects
improves costs and leads to better customer experience.
Many of the customer-pleasing features of Amazon’s operations are not noticed, or even known,
by Amazon’s customers. These fall into the categories of technology,
order fulfillment, and retailing strategies. In technology, the
company’s website has been, and remains, leading edge. In an effort to
serve customer needs, Amazon was one of the early pioneers to develop
software for collaborative filtering of customer data. Basically, the
filter is used to suggest similar or related products to a customer
after he or she has focused on a product or product category. For
example, if a customer browses or purchases Managing for Quality and Performance Excellence, other
books in quality management would then be suggested on the viewer’s Web
browser. These suggestions are based on what other readers of the text
had purchased, in addition to the target text. Web features and
capabilities have expanded over the years, to include features such as
“look inside the book” for a chapter preview, in-store pickup of orders,
shipping choices (priority vs. regular), and affinity group selections
(Wedding Registry, Baby Registry, personal Wish List, etc.).
In order fulfillment, the capabilities of its high-tech warehouses continue to drive costs down, as mentioned earlier. For example, Amazon has a nearly perfect process for sorting multiple item orders. As it expands its offerings and adds more retail partners, Amazon’s fulfillment
capabilities pay dividends to its partners, as well as adding revenues
to Amazon. By reducing the time it takes to get all the items in an
order into the sorting system, Amazon shipped 35 percent more units with
the same number of people than it had in earlier years. Its retailing strategy is based more and more on partnerships with those who, in most businesses,
would be considered competitors. Amazon proclaims that it seeks “to
offer Earth’s Biggest Selection and to be Earth’s most customer-centric
company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want
to buy online.” However, at any time, its competitor partners may be
offering the same item through their linked websites at a different
price. For example, when a book is being viewed, the web page will also
permit the viewer to go to a linking web page of a partner’s book
company, where the same title used (or even new) book is being sold for a
lower price. Its partners include well-known retailers such as Borders
Books, Waldenbooks, Waterstone, Target Stores, Lands’ End, and thousands
of other lesser-known organizations, large and small. In fact, through
what is called their Associates Program, Amazon.com provides a link to
900,000 websites carrying specialty items and where online auctions are
taking place every day.
With millions of customers and potential customers accessing its global sites in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Canada daily, Amazon.com’s sophisticated
technology allows it to build an in-depth and potentially valuable
database of many of its customers. In 1999, Amazon.com experimented with
a highly controversial feature on its website. It started featuring
thousands of individual bestseller lists categorized by Zip codes,
workplaces, and colleges—wherever its customers were ordering from. With
a mouse click on its website, browsers could peek behind the scenes at
the books that specific groups were reading, the compact discs they were
listening to, and the videos they were watching. Amazon described it as
‘’fun,’’ happily announcing the feature, Purchase Circles, in a press
release. Soon, however, citing customer complaints, the company began
backtracking. Customers were allowed to opt out of having their data
collected, as long as they were savvy enough to read the fine print and
send an e-mail to the company. Companies could choose not to be included
by sending a fax.5 Despite the controversy, Amazon .com still has Purchase Circles on its website.
