Wally is trying his best to setup a quick response system based on whatever little data he has based on past numbers and experience of his production managers and suppliers.

Despite some very aggressive moves to reduce lead times and to have a better forecasting model, Obermeyer has been unable to deal with the

I just recently started to like hockey, I like the Ducks and go to a lot of their games with my boyfriend. I really like to watch contact sports, so sports like
