Read the following passages and answer the questions. (30 points )
Passage 1
In supply chain management software, the forecast is a calculation that is fed data from real time transactions and is based on a set of vareables that are configured配置) for a number of statistical forecast situations. Planning prefessionals are required to use the software to provide the best forecast situation possible and often this is left unchecked without any review for long periods. To best use the forecasting techniques in the supply chain software , planners should rewiew their decisions with respect to the intemal and external environment. They should adjust the calculation to provide a more accurate forecast based on the current information they have.
Statistical forecasts are best estimates of what will occur in the future based on the demand that has occurred in the past. Historical demand data can be used to produce a forecast using simple linear regression (回归). This gives equal weighting to the demand of the historical periods and projects the demand into the future . However, forecasts today give greater emphasis on the more recent demand data than the older data. This is called smoothing and is preduced by giving more weight to the recent data. Exponential (指数的) smoothing refers to ever-greater weighting given to the more recent historical periods. Therefore a period two mooths ago has a greater weighting than a perild six months ago .The weighting is called the Alpha Factor and the higher the weighting, or Alpha factor the fewer historecal periods are used to create the forecast .For example ,a high Alpha factor gives high weighting to reacent periods and demand from periods for a year or two years ago are weighted so lightly that they have no bearing on the overall forecast. A low Alpha factor means historical data is more relevant to the forecast.
Historical periods generally contain demand data from a fixed month, i.e. June or July. However, this introduces error into the calculation as some months have more days than other months and the number of workdays can vary . Some companies use daily demand to alleviate(减轻) this error, although if the forecaster understands the error , monthly historecal periods can be used along with a tracking indicator to identify when the forecast deviates (偏离) significantly from the actual demand . The level at which the tracking signal flags the deviation is determined by the forecaster or software and vary between industries, companies and products. A small deviation may require intervention when the product being forecasted is high-value, whereas a low-value item may not require the forecast be scrutinized(细察) to such a high level.

The strategic supply chain processes that management has to decide upon will cover the breadth of the supply chain. These include preduct development, customers, manufacturing, vendors and logistics.

Product Development
Senier Management has to define a stratefic direction when cousidering the products that the company should manufacture and offer to their customens. As product cycles mature or products sales decline, management has to make stratefic decisions to develop and introduce new versions of existing products into the marketplace, rationalize the current product offering or whether develop a new range of producta and servies.

Passage 3

How do you effectively preserve the relationship during tough times? You can’t without the right foundation. Few strong business relationships are bullt quickly. Every good marketing strategy must include the long term goal of identifying key customers and prespects and building positive relationships.To start the process during tough times is too late. Here are a few suggestions:
● In the beginning don’t talk. Yeah, that’s right. At the beginning of the relationship do more listening than talking. One of the greatest reasons to keep a supplier is the words。 “They know our business.” Knowledge and understanding can be the glue to holding the relationship together during tough times.
● Keep the sales brochures in you briefcase. Only pull them out if they can solve a problem the customer has shared. If they don’t and you leave them behind they’ll be pitched.
● Pick the right sales person for the customer. I don’t mean only personality ( tough to figure out and a big variable ), but length of service and level of industry and company knowledge that would match the size and importance of the customer or prospect.
● Remind the customer of your value proposition each time you meet. It could be on-time performance, fulfillment fates or how much you understand their business and needs.
● Demonstrate cost savings. If you delivery rates are higher but you deliver one day sooner, discuss the savings with the customer in terms of coat of money saved, customer satisfation, lower inventories with JTT delivery and the implications of not delivering on time or being late.
● Go paperless. A strong e-commerce toolbox can save a customer time, reduce labor costs, paperwork and inconvenience.
● Build your brand’s top-of-mind awareness at every opportunity with the goal of being among the first calls made when an RFP is put together. Use case study white papers, press releases, advertising, merchandising, event marketing, web site messages and email marketing.
We’ve only touched on a few ideas here, and much more can be said about each. But the main point is this 。 It can be too late when you hear, “Let’s build a strong relationship with them,” when no foundation has been laid.
