Synopsis and Purpose
The purpose of this case is to expose students to the issues involved in forecasting. best Homes is a home construction company with headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri. They construct only residential homes throughout the U.S. and only new homes. Their reputation is based on building quality homes at a competitive price. Forecasting the correct demand for new home construction is a challenging task.
PROFESSOR’S GUIDANCE
· All forecasting methods include errors, which can only be determined when the actual data become available. The challenge remains to estimate the error in advance. The decomposition approach is a good beginning, but it has to be expanded to get reasonable results on estimating the error associated with a sales forecast. I expect that you incorporate my guidance in your thinking and address the technique at least in concept. If you do not see the possibility to address this task within the questions specified by the case study text, then create a separate answer for forecast error assessment.
Answers must be well thought-out and in discussion format. Short one-liner answers are not sufficient.
· Answer the questions at the end of the Case Synopsis and Purpose
· Repeat each question ahead of your answer
· Use headings to separate the response to each question
