1. United Parcel Service is the world’s largest package distribution company. With more than 500 aircraft, 157,000 trucks, and 1,700 facilities worldwide, UPS delivers as many as 3 billion packages to customers per year. Assume the role of a UPS manager, and visit the UPS Web site at www.ups.com (or use the key words United Parcel Service). Browse through the site, particularly “UPS at a Glance,” which provides facts about service areas, customers, delivery volumes, operating facilities, technological capabilities, and so forth. Then draft a plan describing what types of quantitative forecasting methods you would recommend using to estimate level of demand for delivery services worldwide, in Europe, or in the United States over the next 5 years. (You don’t need to make the actual forecast; rather, focus on which methods you think would be most effective, and why.)
