Below is a list of months matched up with dishwasher sales. Using at least TWO DIFFERENT forecasting methods, I want you to forecast sales through the next two years for dishwashers. Clearly explain your forecasting methods, and why you chose that technique in your Excel spreadsheet. Analyze and explain your results, and tell why this could be very important to the manufacturer who hired you.

What would you tell them about demand patterns in the near future? Should the build a new factory, or scale back production? Why? What data and evidence do you have to back up your claims? DATE Dishwashers
