In conclusion, table one is showing the period of January 2011 to April, the total demand for cases of
beer is 14.7. After four months the demand for cases of beer increased to 19.5. Then in five months the
demand of Cases of beer declined to 17.6. In table two, the year 2016 January to April the demand of
cases of beer there was a drastic increase each month. As examined the first two months of the year 2016
the Ex smoothing forecast of each moth is a total of 8. In March there was an increasing in the Ex
smoothing forecast from 8 to 11.3 then from 11.3 to 18.9 in April. There was a declining at the starting of
June. The months of July to September there was growth in the Ex smoothing forecast. At the final
months of the year December the Ex Smoothing ended at 26.1. In table there, the demand of cases of beer
for the first three months is the same of year 2016 in the previous table. After the first three month the
total; moving average is 14.7 when compared to the first four months there was an increase to 23.3.
According to the table the total number of MSE for the first 3 months is 372.49 then there was a greater
decline in the 4th month to 176.89. The total amount of Error Actual- SMA in the 3rd month is 19.3unlike
to the 4th month the Error Actual – SMA declined to 13.3.

Given:
Q = Quantity sold per month
P(in cents) = Price of the product = 700
shops are located = 13,500.
Monthly advertising expenditure = 8,000
Using the information above,
a)
b)
Develop the linear regression model for the Quantity of Vegetable Loaves demand
per month.
Y= - 4650.0001- 20.0005248x1 + 30.0001546x2 + 6.95000038x3 +
0.3000075x4
Ydemand – 4650 -20 (price) + 30 ( cp)+ 6.959 (PCI)+ 0.30 (MAE)
What is the quality of the model (estimator) developed?
R= 0.90 very good model
c) What is the relationship and the strength of the relationship
between Demand for the Vegetable Loaves and the Independent Variables as a
group?
r = 0.95 very strong positive relationship
d)
Compute the t-statistics for each variable and state whether it is
statistically significant at the 5% level.
-
e)
Forecast the Demand for Vegetable Loaves using the model developed
in part a), based on the given information.
Demand = - 4650 – 20 ( 700 ) + 30 ( 750)+ 6.95 (13500) + 0.3(8000)
-4650 – 14000+ 22500+93825+ 2400

Question 6 ( 9 marks)
a)
Using the data below, develop a multi-regression model for the demand
for soft drink using excel.
b)
What is the quality of the estimator?
Answer: A good estimator is the one which provides an estimate with the following
qualities: unbiasedness, Consistency and efficiency
c)
What is the relationship and the strength of the relationship between
the dependent and independent variables?
Answer: The independent variable is the one that experimenter controls. The
dependent variable is the variable that changes in response to the independent
variable. The two variable maybe related by cause and effect. If the
independent variable changes, then the dependent variable is affected.
Correlation Coefficient ( r ) indicates both the strength and direction of the
linear relationship between the independent and dependent variable.
d)
Use the model to forecast the demand for soft drinks based on the values given.
Given the data below, gathered from 20 outlets in Kingston by the producers of a new Soft
drink as at December 2015.

Question8.( 9 marks)
a)
Harley Davidson has its engine assembly plant in Milwaukee and its motorcycle assembly plant
in Pennsylvania. Engines are transported between the two plants usingtrucks. Each truck trip
costs $1,000. The motorcycle plant assembles and sells 300 motorcycles each day. Each engine
costs $500 and Harley incurs a holding cost of 20 percent per year. How many engines should
Harley load onto each truck? What is the cycle inventory of engines at Harley?( 3 marks)

b)
Harley purchases components from three suppliers. Components purchased from Supplier A at price
$5 each, and used at the rate of 20000 units per month. Components purchased from supplier
B are priced at $4 each and used at the rate of 2,500 units per month. Components purchased
from Supplier C are priced at $5 each and used at the rate of 900 units per
month. Currently, Harley purchases a separate truck load from each supplier. As part of its JIT
drive, Harley has decided to aggregate purchase from the three suppliers. The trucking company
charges a fixed cost of $400 for the truck with an additional charge of $100 for each stop. Thus,
if Harley asked for a pick up from one supplier, charges $500; from two suppliers $600; and
from three suppliers it charges $700. Suggest a replenishment strategy for Harley that minimizes
annual cost. Harley incurs a holding cost of 20 percent per year. Compare the cost of your
strategy with Harley’s current strategy of ordering separately from each supplier. What is the
cycle inventory of each component at Harley?( 6 marks)

Question 11( 6 marks)
Explain the six distinct distribution network designs that may be used to move products from
factory to customer. ( 9 marks)
Answer: In manufacture storage with direct shipping, product is shipped directly from the
manufacture to the end customer, bypassing the retailer. This option is also referred to as drop
shipping with product delivered directly from the manufacture to the customer location.
Manufacture storage with direct shipping and in- transfer merge is similar to pure drop shipping,
except that pieces of the order coming from different locations are combined so that the
customer gets single delivery.
Distributor Storage with package carrier delivery is being used when inventory is not held by
manufactures at the factories, but is held by distributors/retailers in intermediate warehouses, and
package carries are used to transport products from the intermediate location to final customer.
Distributor storage with last mile delivery is being used when the distributor/retailer delivers
the product to the customer’s home instead of using a package carrier.
Manufacture/distributor storage with customer pickups is being used when inventory is stored at
the manufacture or distribution warehouse but customer place their orders online or on the
phone and then come to designed pickup point to collect their orders
Retail storage with customer pickup is being used when inventory is stored locally at retail
stores and customers walk into the retail store or place an order online or on the phone and pick
it up at retail store.
