Her operations manager is considering a new plan, which begins in January with 200 units of inventory on hand. Stockout cost of lost sales is $125 per unit. Inventory holding cost is $20 per unit per month. Ignore any idle-time costs. The plan is called plan C. Plan C: Keep a stable workforce by maintaining a constant production rate equal to the average gross requirements excluding initial inventory and allow varying inventory levels. Conduct your analysis for January through August. The average monthly demand requirement = units. (Enter your response as a whole number.)

The president of Hill Enterprises, Terri Hill, projects the firm's aggregate demand requirements over the next 8 months as follows: May January February 2,200 2,300 June July 1,700 March April August 1,300 Her operations manager is considering a new plan, which begins in January with 200 units on hand and ends with zero inventory. Stockout cost of lost sales is $100 per unit. Inventory holding cost is $20 per unit per month. Ignore any idle-time costs. The plan is called plan B. 1,500 1,600 1,600 1,900 Plan B: Produce at a constant rate of 1,300 units per month, which will meet minimum demands. Then use subcontracting, with additional units at a premium price of $80 per unit. Subcontracting capacity is limited to 1,000 units per month. Evaluate this plan by computing the costs for January through August. In order to arrive at the costs, first compute the ending inventory and subcontracting units for each month by filling in the table below (enter your responses as whole numbers). Get…
A florist provides fresh flowers to shops in Wollongong. At present she has one nursery in Goulburn with capacity 9000 units a year. The florist is considering opening shops in Canberra and Sydney, and has found three potential nursery sites at Wagga, Orange and Bathurst. The transportation tableau below summarises the projected nursery capacities (units), the cost per unit of shipping from each nursery to each destination (dollars), and the demand (units) for the coming year. j=1 j=2 j=3 Sydney Capacities Wollongong Canberral 5 i=1 Goulburn 12 9000 i=2 Wagga 7 10 4000 i=3 Orange 4 7000 i=4 Bathurst 11000 Demand 11000 5000 8000 There are further constraints on how the nurseries can be located: • If a nursery is located in Wagga, another must be located in Bathurst and vice- versa. • One nursery can be located in Orange or Bathurst, but not both. Suppose that the costs of establishing new nurseries are Wagga $180,000 Orange $160,000 Bathurst $270,000 The goal is to develop a 0-1…
