    1) This assignment requires students to analyze a dataset on food item demand at Apollo Hospitals and develop forecasting models to predict demand. 2) Students must submit a typed report with R code by January 4th, 2017 at 11:59pm answering four questions about whether individual forecasts should be made for each of 120 food items, descriptive statistics and correlations in the data, forecasting models for each item, and recommendations for Apollo Hospitals. 3) References must be properly cited to avoid penalties, and no materials may be directly copied from other sources.

    Rules and Regulations:

    Case Title: Forecasting Demand for Food at Apollo Hospitals (provided in the class handout)
    Weightage: 30%
    Submission Document: Typed and softcopy of report over email along with your R-codes
    (used for the analysis).
    Assignment Type: Individual
    Submission Deadline: 4th January 2017 (Wednesday) 23:59; late submissions will not be
    accepted.
    Please do not copy any materials available on the internet. This will attract serious penalty.
    However if you use some ideas from any source like books, websites please provide proper
    reference in your report. Failing to provide proper references will attract penalty.

    Your submission report should address the following questions:

    (Q1) Apollo serves 120 individual food items (in a day) from its kitchen. Do you think that
    Apollo should develop forecasting models for all 120 items?

    (Q2) Explore the data provided in the dataset. Your exploration can have descriptive
    statistics, correlation matrix and so on. But your preliminary analysis need not be limited to
    these two only. You are welcome to make relevant additions on your own. You should
    mention clearly your observations from this preliminary analysis.

    (Q3) Develop appropriate forecasting models for each of the mentioned food items. You
    should explore multiple models moving averages, exponential smoothing types, arima
    (different types). For each food item your report should have comparisons of the best model
    under each of these category.

    (Q4) Suggest suitable actions (in your report) for Apollo hospitals (going forward) for a
    proper estimation (based on your analysis) of food demand.
