Forecast Worksheet Maintenance
In Forecast Worksheet Maintenance (22.2), the system displays 13 weeks of forecast buckets at a time. Clicking Next advances to successive calendar quarters. In addition, this screen displays actual sales orders, abnormal sales orders, production forecasts, and net forecast.
Using Forecast Worksheet Maintenance, the QMI planner has entered forecasts for the number of medical ultrasound units that they expect to ship each week for the next few months, starting with April 5. Some orders already exist in the system. The planner has noted an increase in orders because of a special spring promotion, so he increases the forecast for five weeks from 5 to 10.
Discussion
If it takes one person 1 day to assemble 5 units and the forecast for 30 on each five day week is reasonable, what action is necessary?
