| Abstract |
The case describes a home appliance manufacturer which faced the problem
of high inventory and believed that this was largely due to poor sales forecasting
methods adopted by the company. However, there were too many SKUs and no
apparently reliable patterns in sales. The case provides details of the
background of the company and past sales figures. Possible areas of discussion
include aggregate planning, demand forecasting and inventory management.
