Reforecast an appliance service team

Build a rolling driver forecast · Fictional case

The situation

First-quarter actual revenue was ₹24 lakh. In each remaining quarter, the team forecasts 500 visits at ₹2,000 per completed visit. The approved full-year budget was ₹60 lakh.

Your task

What is the revised year view and gap to budget?

Reveal step-by-step solution
  1. Set up the problem

    Convert visits into quarterly sales: 500 × ₹2,000 = ₹10 lakh.

  2. Work through the numbers

    Add actuals once: ₹24 + 3 × ₹10 = ₹54 lakh, which is ₹6 lakh below budget.

  3. Interpret the result

    To recover the gap at the same price requires 300 additional visits across the remaining quarters. Test technician capacity.

What to remember

Lock elapsed periods to actuals. Tie remaining months to operational drivers and check constraints.
