Business Decision Making Final In this week’s class our team assignment was to continue discussing the company we chose in week one. Harley Davidson distribution and parts center was the company we chose in week one. Our team member Charles Hall was kind enough to provide us with data of their sales up until recently. We also discussed how inventory control would help consumer satisfaction and forecasting sales.

In order to monitor the company’s sales we need to have a system in place to monitor inventory. Inventory control will provide the company with a view of what is in stock, what they have in overstock, and the sales that the employees are making. This will help them see what they need to reduce in inventory, what product is high in demand and what sales better in the good months of the season and the bad weather months.
The data provided by Charles’s company was based on the employees and their sales for the months up to date. The sales goal is to be met by the end of the year by all employees. By knowing what sales the employees have made for the year they can start to forecast future sales. They can also start the processes of inventory control based on sales. There is a total of seven employees including Charles himself. The company’s goal is $1,967,054 total sales for the year. The goal whether or not is met will be a goal and sales for the next year should give them statistical data to forecast inventory and sales. The data received from Charles was current as of this week’s sales. Marlin has been the team member who has understood the charts the best and he has provided great graphs showing the data provided. These graphs which will be provided will be starting point to start collecting data.
