The Mr. Rifkı Çakıl Company can obtain accurate forecasts for 5 months based on firm orders. These forecasts and the number of workdays per month are as follows: Month Demand forecast Workdays (in thousands of cookies) 850 26 1060 22 510 20 4 980 18 770 22 During a 100-day period when were 100 workers, the firm produced 1,700,000 cookies. Assume that there are 120 workers employed at the beginning of month1. Assume inventory cost is 25 per cookies per month and producing cost is $3 per cookies. Hiring cost and firing cost per worker is $100 and $200 per worker. Develop a constant workforce plan without backorder case.
The Yeasty Brewing Company Produces a popular local beer known as Iron Stomach. Beer sales are somewhat seasonal, and Yeasty is planning its production and workforce levels on March 31 for the next six months. The demand forecasts are as follows: Month April May June July August September Production Days 14 20 24 26 20 18 Forecasted Demand (in hundreds of cases) 75 100 200 140 100 50 As of March 31, Yeasty had 70 workers on the payroll. Over a period of 20 working days when there are 100 workers on the pay roll, Yeasty produced 10,000 cases of beer. The cost to hire each worker is $200 and the cost of laying off each worker is $400. Holding costs amount to 1 dollar per case per month. As of March 31, Yeasty expects to have 3,000 cases of beer in stock. It plans to start October with 3,500 cases on hand. a) Formulate the problem of planning Yeasty's production levels as a linear program. b) Use Excel solver to solve the problem and give the solution (decision variables and objective…
