The retаil divisiоn оf а mаjоr professional hockey team based in Edmonton is facing rising logistics costs in its operations, including both online sales and arena merchandise stores. As playoff season approaches, demand becomes highly volatile and regionally concentrated, especially after game wins or player milestones.To maintain high service levels for popular products (e.g., jerseys, headwear), the merchandising team has relied on large safety stocks, resulting in an annual cost of $2 million. The management is now demanding significant cost reductions without compromising customer satisfaction or availability during peak demand periods. The team considers ONE of these alternatives:1. Double safety stock for top-selling playoff merchandise (e.g., team jerseys)2. Invest in AI-powered demand forecasting (e.g., based on ticket sales, social media trends) and build regional express shipping hubs in Alberta3. Centralize inventory for premium merchandise (e.g., signed collectibles) in a single large Edmonton store4. Raise prices by 5% to cover logistics costs 5. Extend delivery times for 10% of non-essential or off-season items Your Task: 1- Refer to Figures 2.6 and 2.9 (pages 41 & 43) in the textbook. Which alternative best aligns with pushing the curve to the right? 2- Justify your decision. Your answer should be 4–6 sentences long, approximately 50–70 words.
