environments, service performance can be adversely affected by many factors outside of the manager's
control (e.g. employee and customer attitudes)

process variation - correct answer ✔✔______ can be disruptive to operations and supply chain
processes. they may result in additional costs, delays and shortages, poor quality, and inefficient work
systems.

dealing with the real system, require users to organize and sometimes quantify info, increase
understanding of the problem, enable managers to analyze "what if" questions, serve as consistent tool
for evaluation and provide standardized format for analyzing a problem, enable users to bring the power
of mathematics to bear on a problem
pareto phenomenon - correct answer ✔✔a few factors account for a high percentage of the occurrence
of some event(s)
characteristics of customization - correct answer ✔✔home remodeling, plastic surgery, and legal
counseling. tend to be more labor intensive. generally more time consuming, requires more highly skilled

increases.
Elements of Forecast - correct answer ✔✔The forecast should be timely, accurate, reliable, expressed in
meaningful units, in writing, be simple to understand and use, and be cost effective.
MAD (mean absolute deviation) - correct answer ✔✔the average absolute forecast error; weights all
errors evenly
MSE (mean squared error) - correct answer ✔✔the average of squared forecast errors; weights all errors
according to their squared values
MAPE (mean absolute percent error) - correct answer ✔✔the average absolute percent error; weights
errors according to relative error
, forecasting approach - judgmental - correct answer ✔✔forecasts that use subjective inputs such as
opinions from consumer surveys, sales staff, managers, executives, and experts
forecasting approach - time series and relevant behavior - correct answer ✔✔forecasts that project
patterns identified in recent time-series observations;n- a time-ordered sequence of observations taken
at regular time intervals

explanatory variables to predict future demand
focus forecasting - correct answer ✔✔using the forecasting method that demonstrates the best recent
success
diffusion models - correct answer ✔✔when new products or services are introduced, historical data
aren't generally available on which to base forecasts. instead, predictions are based on rates of
production adoption and usage spread from other established products, using mathematical diffusion
models. these take into account such factors as market potential, attention from mass media, and word
of mouth. widely used in marketing and to assess the merits of investing in new technologies.
Adjusting for Seasonality in trends - correct answer ✔✔regularly repeating movements in series values
that can be tied to recurring events (rush hour traffic)
Expressed in terms of the amount that actual values deviate from the average value of a series
Additive: Demand = trend + seasonality
Multiplicative: Demand = Trend x Seasonality
seasonal relatives - correct answer ✔✔seasonal percentage used in the multiplicative seasonally
adjusted forecasting model
