Using the information in Problem 13.3, develop planB. Produce at a constant rate of 1,400 units per month, which will
meet minimum demands. Then use subcontracting, with addi-tional units at a premium price of $75 per unit. Evaluate this plan
by computing the costs for January through August.

- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

- Plan production for a four-month period: February through May. For February and March, you should produce to exact demand forecast. For April and May, you should use overtime and Inventory with a stable workforce; stable means that the number of workers needed for March will be held constant through May. However, government constraints put a maximum of 5,000 hours of overtime labor per month in April and May (zero overtime in February and March). If demand exceeds supply, then backorders occur. There are 100 workers on January 31. You are given the following demand forecast: February, 80,640; March, 67,200; April, 100,280; May, 40,280. Productivity is four units per worker hour, eight hours per day, 21 days per month. Assume zero Inventory on February 1. Costs are: hiring, $50 per new worker, layoff, $70 per worker laid off, Inventory holding, $11 per unit-month; regular time labor, $12 per hour; overtime, $18 per hour; backorder, $22 per unit. Develop a production plan and calculate…arrow_forwardGiven the projected demands for the next six months, prepare an aggregate plan that uses inventory, regular time, overtime, subcontract and backorders. Regular time is limited to 150 units per month (Cost per Unit-$30). Overtime is limited to a maximum of 20 units per month (Cost per Unit-$45). Units purchased from the subcontractor (Cost per Unit = $54) cannot exceed 70 per month and the total purchases from the subcontractor over the 6 month period cannot be over 220 units. Backorders cannot exceed 60 units in any given month (Cost per Unit - $5) and must be no more than 10 in Period 6. Average Inventory Holding cost per Unit = $10.
