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, 80,256; March, 70,400; April, 100,360; May, 40,360. Productivity is four units per worker hour, eight hours per day, 22 days per month. Assume zero inventory on February 1. Costs are: hiring, $45 per new worker, layoff, $65 per worker laid off, inventory holding, $10 per unit-month; regular time labor, $10 per hour, overtime, $15 per hour, backorder, $20 per unit.

Since the company is considering cost reduction strategies in response to the economic uncertainty, this news was unfavorable. But Lockden realized that the overhaul is important and has decided to do the overhaul during the first quarter of 2020. The overhaul will cost US$100,000,7 and the machine will not be operational during the overhaul (i.e., the entire duration of the first quarter). The company is exploring the viability of the following options to handle this operational challenge: Option 1: Lockitt, Inc. will run the functional molding machine two shifts per day, instead of one. Since LB075 labor is paid hourly, this proposal will not change the labor hours required. But the company must pay a higher wage rate to the employees in the second shift, causing the average LB075 rate to increase to $45 per hour.…
