Summary:

This data challenge explores a dilemma facing Dennsow Limited, a fast-moving consumer goods organization: balancing its capacity with the demand forecast for its three main stock keeping units: Charm, Favour, and Gift. Thus, this data challenge depicts how John Oggric, the manager in charge of Dennsow's operations, would leverage the sales and operations platform to resolve the issue of insufficient capacity vis-à-vis the demand forecasts for 2024 and 2025. The data consist of the throughputs for the production lines for each of the three SKUs and demand forecasts for 2024 and 2025, respectively. Available capacity is a critical success factor for any business organization to provide the required product and service to the target market. Hence, the analysis and need to balance an organization's capacity with the growing demand from the market is crucial for its competitive advantage. Through this data challenge, students learn how to use demand forecast data to make capacity decisions vis-à-vis supply constraints. Students should have an understanding of basic operations and supply-chain management principles in navigating this decision flow.
