The Importance of the Planning Phase to Project Success.
Traditional wisdom is that planning and analysis are very important and the more there is in a project, the more successful the project will be. Time spent on these activities will reduce risk and increase project success. On the other hand, inadequate analysis and planning will lead to a failed project. If poor planning has led to failed projects, then perhaps billions of dollars have been lost. But how much is too much? “Light weight” project management techniques such as agile are gaining popularity. Part of their ethos is that less initial planning is better and an evolutionary process is more efficient.

- In addition to the Amazon case study you provided, I'm curious if you've encountered other examples of companies successfully applying Little's Law to enhance their supply chain risk management practices. For instance, have you seen organizations use queuing theory to assess the potential ripple effects of disruptions, stress-test their contingency plans, or identify critical control points that require heightened monitoring and agility?

It purchases kitty litter for $13.00 per bag The following information is available about these bags: > Demand 85 bags/week >Order cost $60.00/order > Annual holding cost = 35 percent of cost > Desired cycle-service level 80 percent > Lead time = 4 weeks (24 working days) > Standard deviation of weekly demand = 15 bags > Current on-hand inventory is 320 bags, with no open orders or backorders. a. Suppose that the weekly demand forecast of 85 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 65 bags per week. How much higher will total costs be, owing to the distorted EOQ caused by this forecast error? The costs will be $higher owing to the error in EOQ.
