1. The CEO of a leading fan manufacturer is concerned about certain teething
issues involving sales of ceiling fans. Ceiling fans come in several models,
and each model has numerous Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) involving different
colours, blade size etc. Tastes and preferences of consumers vary widely across
the vast geography of the country. Recently there have been numerous complaints
from the divisional sales offices across the country that they have received
supplies of fans in colours and blade sizes, which are not popular in their
territory. This has led to loss of sales as distributors in their regions would
not accept those fans. Sales people have not been able to achieve their
quarterly sales targets, leading to de-motivation and attrition. The CEO has
