Michele Platini and Diego Maradona, planners for a company that makes several models of footballs are about to prepare the capacity plan that will cover six periods. They have assembled the following information. Period Forecast 1 250 4 400 They intend to start with zero inventory on hand in the first period, and their production rate is 300 units per period. Use overtime at a fixed rate of 15 units per period as needed. Use subcontracting at a maximum rate of 50 units per period if needed. Plan for an ending inventory of zero for period 6. Backorders cannot exceed 60 units per period. Compute the total cost of the plan. Period 2 300 Forecast Prepare the capacity plan as below using the level strategy. Costs: Regular:4£, Overtime: 2£, Subcontracting:10£, Inventory:2£, Backorders: 30£ 1 3 3 350 2 PRODUCTION DD0000 5 500 4 6 250 5 Total 2,050 6 Total

A barbershop has been using a level workforce of barbers five days per week, Tuesday through Saturday. The barbers have considerable idle time on Tuesday through Friday, with certain peak periods during the lunch hours and after 4 p.m. each day. On Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, all the barbers are very busy, with customers waiting a substantial amount of time and some customers being turned away. What options should this barbershop consider for aggregate planning? Howwould you analyze these options? What data should be collected, and how should the options be compared?

Problem #1: Extension of the solved problem in the class The washing machine plant is interested in determining work force and production levels for the next 8 months. Forecasted demands for Jan-Aug, are: 420, 280, 460, 190, 310, 145, 110, 125. Starting inventory at the end of December is 200. The firm would like to have 100 units on hand at the end of August. Suppose we are told that over a period of 40 days, the plant had 38 workers who produced 520 units. Assume we are given the following number of working days per month (January to August): 22, 16, 23, 20, 21, 22, 21, 22. The holding cost (per unit per month): $8.50, hiring cost per worker: $800, firing cost per worker: $1,250, payroll cost: $75/worker/day, and shortage cost: $50 unit short/month. The company has 40 workers at the end of December. We solved this problem in class and obtained a value of K = 0.3421 units/worker/day. In addition, we developed a constant workforce plan with 46 workers over the planning horizon and…

Daily demands, along with price and material costs per beverage, are given below: Regular Vienna Cappuccino Coffee coffee Beverages sold 400 100 200 Price per beverage $2.00 Material per beverage ($) $0.50 $3.00 $0.75 $4.00 $1.25 Harald Luckerbauer, the manager at Morning Brew Coffee Shop, would like to understand how adding Eiskaffee (a German coffee beverage of chilled coffee, milk, sweetener, and vanilla ice cream) will alter the shop's productivity. Her market research shows that Eiskaffee will bring in new customers and not cannibalize current demand. Assuming that the new equipment is purchased before Eiskaffee is added to the menu, Harald has developed new average daily demand and cost projections. The new equipment cost is $200, and the overhead cost is $350. Modified daily demands, as well…
