A manager is attempting to put together an aggregate plan for
the coming nine months. She has obtained a forecast of expected
demand for the planning horizon. The plan must deal with highly
seasonal demand; demand is relatively high in periods 3 and 4 and
again in period 8, as can be seen from the following
forecasts:
Period | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Total |
Forecast | 190 | 230 | 260 | 280 | 210 | 170 | 160 | 260 | 180 | 1,940 |
The department now has 20 full-time employees, each of whom can
produce 10 units of output per period at a cost of $6 per unit.
Inventory carrying cost is $5 per unit per period, and backlog cost
is $10 per unit per period.
Prepare an aggregate plan that uses overtime ($9 per unit, maximum
output 25 units per period) and inventory variation. The primary
objective in this problem is to minimize backlogs to the extent
possible without having any inventory remaining at the end of
Period 9. The ending inventory in period 9 should be zero, and the
limit on backlogs is 60 units per period. Note that Total output =
Total regular output + Overtime quantity. Compute the total cost of
your plan. Assume 20 full-time workers. (Omit the "$" sign
in your response.)
