Summary Introduction
To determine: Thedifference between aggregate planning in service and aggregate planning in manufacturing
Introduction: The aggregate plan is the output of sales and operations planning. The major concern of aggregate planning is the production time and quantity for the intermediate future. Aggregate planning would encompass a time prospect of approximately 3 to 18 months.

Question 4
b) Company ABC wishes to evaluate whether to produce a component
internally or purchase from a vendor. The firm has the following options:
Internal Production
Process 1
Process 2
Purchase from Vendor
Vendor 1
Vendor 2
Vendor 3
Variable cost of $17 per unit; annual
fixed cost of $200,000
Variable cost of $14 per unit; annual
fixed cost of $240,000
Offers a price of $20 per unit for any
volume up to 30,000 units
Offers a price of $22 per unit for 1,000
units or less, and $18 per unit for
large quantities
Offers a price of $21 per unit for the
first 1,000 units and $19 per unit for
additional units

Question 3
Regular output capacity is 130 units per month. Regular cost per unit = K600. Overtime cost per unit =
K900. Beginning inventory is 0 units. We have the forecast of engine demand shown below:
a) Develop a chase plan that matches the forecast. Calculate the cost of the plan.
b) Develop a level plan that uses inventory to absorb fluctuations. Compare the costs of the level
plan to the costs of the chase plan from Part (a). Inventory carrying cost per unit per month = 20.
Backlog cost per unit per month = K900. There should be no backlog in the final month.

Hoverboards and the Factory Market Area: Suppose there is a single shoe factory in the region. The factory competes with homemade shoes and will sell shoes to any household for which the net price of factory shoes is less than the cost of homemade shoes. The cost of a homemade shoe is the opportunity cost of the time required to make the shoe at home, that is, the one gallon of milk that could be produced instead. Suppose the higher cost of living and commuting requires compensation of 0.80 gallons of milk per hour. Each worker produces 10 shoes per hour, so the average labor and capital cost are 0.18 gallons of milk and 0.12 gallons of milk respectively. The factory price of shoe (equal to the average production cost, sum of the average labor cost and the average capital cost) is 0.30 gallons of milk. A round-trip mile involves one mile of travel to a location and one mile back, for a total distance of two miles. Linear travel cost 20 miles /hour. Therefore, the…arrow_forward
- Question 4.4 Montreal Hardware Co. is making a make-or-buy decision. The market feedback shows that the optimal price for this item is $10 each. If the item is outsourced to Laval Hardware Co, there is virtually no cost other than the $6 per unit that they would pay Laval Hardware Co. Internally, they have two choices. Process A requires an investment of $120,000 for design and equipment, but it results in a $4 per unit cost. Process B requires only a $100,000 investment, but its per unit cost is $5. Regardless of whether the item is subcontracted or produced internally, there is a 50% chance that they will sell 50,000 units, and a 50% chance that they will sell 100,000 units.

Using the decision tree and EMV, what is their best choice?arrow_forwardQuestion 4 An alternative will have fixed costs of $10,000 per month, variable costs of $50 per unit, and revenue of $70 per unit.
