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.
