QUESTION TWO
An aggregate plan is to be developed for the forecast of demand covering nine periods shown in
Table below. Other relevant production and cost information is also provided. Find the cost
associated with an aggregate plan that involves varying the size of the work force in order to have a
production rate that matches demand.
Note: Since this plan does not allow for any inventory build-up, a decision has been made to carry 10
units of safety stock, but no overtime or subcontract labour is used.

- 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.

The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows: Rental Class Room Super Saver Deluxe Business Type I $35$ 37— Type II $24 $34$ 43 Type I rooms do not have wireless Internet access and are not available for the Business rental class. Round Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 120 rentals in the Super Saver class, 65 rentals in the Deluxe class, and 40 rentals in the Business class. Round Tree has 105 Type I rooms and 115 Type II rooms.
