Forecasting Method
38% of Colgate’s total revenues are comprised of oral care products.
According to our test marketing, we estimated that we could capture 1% of Colgate’s oral care market.
This would be equivalent to 50.6 million toothbrushes in our first year and 53.7 million in our second year.

Utilize Seasonal Forecasting
People buy toothbrushes year-round, without regard to a particular season. Therefore, we will not utilize Seasonal Forecasting.
PRODUCTION CAPACITY
Part 7
Production Capacity
Our average forecasted sales for the first five years are million toothbrushes.
Our current facility is capable of producing 22 mil. toothbrushes per year.
This means that 91.8% of our capacity is being utilized.
We reserve some unutilized capacity for unexpected or sudden growth.
Capacity
If sales are as forecasted, we will maintain 91.8% utilization by adding machinery capable of producing 1.4 million additional units per year each year.
This will allow our capacity to reach 27.6 million toothbrushes per year by the fifth year.
With forecasted sales of 25.3 mil. in 2012, this capacity will allow us to maintain our 8.2% reserve capacity for unexpected growth.
Inputs and Outputs
We will use multifactor productivity (MFP).
MFP = ___Price of Toothbrush___ Labor Cost + Materials Cost
= $2.50____ = 1.67/toothbrush ($1.00 + $0.50)
