Forced Distribution Method Forced distribution is a form of comparative evaluation in which an evaluator rates subordinates according to a specified distribution. Unlike ranking methods‚ forced distribution is frequently applied to several rather than only one component of job performance. Use of the forced distribution method is demonstrated by a manager who is told that he or she must rate subordinates according to the following distribution: 10 percent low; 20 percent below average; 40 percent

The Poisson probability distribution‚ named after the French mathematician Siméon-Denis. Poisson is another important probability distribution of a discrete random variable that has a large number of applications. Suppose a washing machine in a Laundromat breaks down an average of three times a month. We may want to find the probability of exactly two breakdowns during the next month. This is an example of a Poisson probability distribution problem. Each breakdown is called an occurrence in Poisson

First main point is that these aviation spare parts is very expensive and thus has very adverse effect on Cathay Pacific’s balance sheet. They have sufficient inventory of these spare parts but of which significant percentage of parts are dead and inactive stock. They can’t simply get rid of these parts because for aircraft safety
