The ATV Corporation makes three models of all-terrain vehicles: Model A, Model B, and Model C. Model A uses a 0.4-liter engine, Model B uses a 0.5-liter engine, and Model C uses a 0.6-liter engine. The aggregate production plan is the twelve-month plan that combines all three models together in total monthly production. The planning horizon is twelve months. The APP determines the size of the workforce, which is the constrained resource. Assume that the beginning inventory for January and that the desired monthly ending inventory is 120 units (30 units each of Model A and Model B, and 60 units of Model C), and the firm desires to have an ending inventory of 160 units at the end of the year. On average, one unit of ATV requires eight labor hours to produce, and a worker contributes 160 hours (8 hours × 5 days × 4 weeks) per month. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file attached. Answer the question below: 1. What are the totals of the forecast demand (including inventory adjustment for December), production, hours and workers associated with aggregate production plan? (Hint: find the total number of workers as the sum of workers required during each month.) Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
