Discuss the below:
1. Given the uncertainty associated with player demand, how should Reebok approach inventory planning for NFL replica jerseys? Which inventory model discussed in this class isparticularly helpful here?
2. Using the forecast for the New England Patriots, consider a strategy where dressed jerseysfor each star player and blank jerseys for all other players are ordered from the contractmanufacturer (CM), and the blank jerseys are then dressed at Reebok (Indianapolis)afterwards. What is the service level for each type of jerseys? How to make the orderingdecision? What profit do you expect for Reebok?
3. How would risk pooling help Reebok manage uncertain demand? Again, using the forecastfor the New England Patriots, consider a simple risk pooling strategy where only blankjerseys are ordered from CM for the entire team, and are dressed at Reebok (Indianapolis)afterwards. How much improvement can this strategy bring?
