Consider the example of products A and B above. Briefly explain your answer. 

One warehouse supplies 50 dealers with parts used by the dealers to repair their customers’ heavy equipment. Dealers currently place orders about once a week, because the ordering process is somewhat cumbersome – it is a paper process that must be filled out manually and faxed to the warehouse. The firm will implement a new system that will allow dealers to submit orders electronically. Because this process should be less cumbersome, it is expected that the dealers will submit orders more frequently, maybe some of them even daily. The new system is not expected to change customer demands for parts (i.e., the dealers’ demand processes will be unaffected). What change is this likely to have on the characteristics of the warehouse’s total daily demand (i.e., the total of the dealers’ orders on any given day)?
