**assumptions: You don’t have to account for client time. So just assume that the TLM and TE are 100% dedicated to these product launches.
(1a) How many Kasasa Cash products can 1 TLM and 1 TE launch each month, based on the following data:
It takes a TLM ‘x’ hours to install and launch a Kasasa Cash product:
TLM (Technical Launch Manager) = 37 hours per launch
TE (Technical Engineer) = 32 hours per launch
(1b) If you have 8 TLMs and 8 TEs, how many total Kasasa Cash products can you launch each month?
(1c) If we need to launch 100 Kasasa Cash products by Dec 31st (starting in April), and how many TLMs and TEs do we need on the team?

(2) Forecasting

**Assumption: You have 90 K360 products in your backlog, and you estimate it will be a 10 week installation process per K360 product (including client time).
(2a) Assume you only have 1 full-time TLM dedicated to launching K360s.
If you start launching April 1st, how long does it take to clear your backlog?
(2b) If you have 2 full-time TLMs, how long will it take to clear your backlog?
(2c) If the Sales team sells an additional 5 K360s in May, 8 in June, 8 in July, 10 in August & September, and 12 in each month in Q4, build a forecasting model for the total launches per month and the backlog growth each month. (Assuming you have 2 TLMs)
(2d) Assuming no restrictions in thinking, what ideas might you come up with to clear out the backlog sooner?
