a vouri TASK D You must decide how many units to produce each day. When multiplied by 65. this daily operating ca pa city will give you the total operating capacity for the current quarter. 0 First] obtain the estimates oftotal and brand demand from Sales. The total demand forecast will automatically be posted to your ope rating capacity decision Wants pace after Sales has developed the forecast. 0 Second] obtain the estimate of worker productivity from HR. It will also be transferred to the Workspace once HR has made an estimate.
