For this assignment, you will be trying to forecast demand and make recommendations iii a situation where there is no historical data to reference. Quincy is an entrepreneur who loves the outdoors. After saving money through the years, Quincy now plans to open his own landscaping busirtess. The primary services he'll offer are maintenance services such as grass cutting, edging, and bush trimming. Obviously, this will only provide income in the spring, summer, and early fall. Therefore, he plans to offer snow removal irt the winter. His goal is to continue to provide those baseline services and expand into actual landscaping work. Quincy's initial challenge is to develop a forecast of how many customers he'll have each month. This is essential to determine if he needs to hire any additional labor throughout the season. Unfortunately, none of the jobs Quincy has had involved forecasting. Quincy is a numbers guy and is partial to using a quantitative method if possible, but he doesn't rule out the option of using one of the qualitative methods. He had worked many summers for other yardwork companies. Knowing he wanted to own his own business someday, Quincy took notes on how things went. Since his customer base would be in a series of small towns, Quincy knows he cannot charge as much as the companies that served larger communities. Consequently, volume is necessary to earn the revenue he will need. Quincy focused on three small towns: Sntithburg with a population of Tilt], Emeryville with 1,3fl, and Golf Creek with 2,500. He believes he can get 1i] percent of the homes in each town to hire hint. Quincy used information from the county files to estimate that on average, the number of homes is equal to about 25 percent of the population, meaning in Smithburg (Tm) the potential number of homes is about lFE. Quincy believes his calculations are reasonable and could be the foundation for using a qualitative method to kick off his forecasting
