Sales Forecasting • Quick N’ Dirty • Consumer Pref’s • Best / Worst Case
Estimate Your FAIR SHARE • Answer 2 Q’s: • What will average product sell in this segment next round? • To what degree is your product above or below average- on consumers'’ buying criteria?
Fair Share - Sales Forecast Determine industry demand next round. Take last year’s total demand -- multiply by (1 + Growth Rate). Estimate # products that will be in segment. Divide total industry demand by the number of products. Your product’s demand will typically be between one half and twice the average product’s demand. Compare your product with competing products. Factors include design, awareness, accessibility, and planned mid-year revisions. Examine industry capacities, and the capacities of the “best” products. Can products meet the demand they generate?
For Example-in Traditional segment everyone begins w/ 13% market share • Opening rounds crucial- can establish competitive advantage (that can be sustained for many years- even thru-out entire sim.) • Initial round demand can vary +/- 25% • Later rounds best case/worst case vary ~~~~ 10-15%

CASE CASE
Worst Case: • BIG INVENTORY/ little cash • Best case: • Lots of CASH / little Inventory
Maintain Adequate working capital & cash reserves In order to: Need to: • Avoid “Big AL” & a Liquidity Crisis-
Enter WORSE case- in “your sales forecast” on marketing spreadsheet • Enter BEST case- in “production schedule” on production spreadsheet • Spread show up as inventory on proforma BALANCE SHEET
$0.00 In WORSE CASE: You have lots of Inventory & little or no Cash.
$0.00 In WORSE CASE: You have lots of Inventory & thus need to drive your cash position to the black…
To adjust your cash position -- • If you are cash poor, issue Stock /Bonds - or consider a short term loan • If you are cash rich, pay dividends and/or buy back stock.
Important Considerationsre: BEST-WORST Scenario Analyses By adjustingyour CASH POSITIONaccording to your WORST CASE estimate– NOT ONLY will avoid … BiG AL
Also Avoid Stock-Outs! By adjustingproduction according to BEST CASE estimate– will minimize loss of profit due to Stock-outs • Fixed costs(marketing, R&D, interest or depreciation)already covered • Thus, any additional sales would only incur variable(production) costs
For example, If your annual sales were $120M, in one month you’d sell $10M. If a months material & labor costs = $7M, you missed contributing $3M to Net Margin. This would be taxed in the simulation at 35%, so your opportunity cost is a missed $2M in profit.
How Big is your Slinky? • Worst Case: • BIG INVENTORY/ no cash– risk seeing Big Al • Best case: • Lots of CASH / noInventory -you risk stockout
Determining A Reasonable Spread • Want to avoid generating an ultra Conservative-- Worst case scenario …matched w/ an ultra Optimistic-- Bestcase scenario • Should be able to sell excess inventory in ~betw. 6 & 16 weeks
How to measure your slinky slack-- Take your total inventory costs $23,900M
& Divide by total variable costs of inventory sold: $23,900M/$131,119M =.18 52weeks *.18 = 9 Risk ~9weeks of Inventory to avoid stockout
