Summary Introduction
To determine: Thedifference between aggregate planning in service and aggregate planning in manufacturing
Introduction: The aggregate plan is the output of sales and operations planning. The major concern of aggregate planning is the production time and quantity for the intermediate future. Aggregate planning would encompass a time prospect of approximately 3 to 18 months.

Question 4
b) Company ABC wishes to evaluate whether to produce a component
internally or purchase from a vendor. The firm has the following options:
Internal Production
Process 1
Process 2
Purchase from Vendor
Vendor 1
Vendor 2
Vendor 3
Variable cost of $17 per unit; annual
fixed cost of $200,000
Variable cost of $14 per unit; annual
fixed cost of $240,000
Offers a price of $20 per unit for any
volume up to 30,000 units
Offers a price of $22 per unit for 1,000
units or less, and $18 per unit for
large quantities
Offers a price of $21 per unit for the
first 1,000 units and $19 per unit for
additional units
If the annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would be best from
a cost standpoint? For 20,000 units, which alternative would be best?
Question 4) APP Linear Programming
Given the following information:
Quarter Demand
Regular Prod. Capacity = 3,000 units/gt
8,000 Overtime Prod. Capacity = 800 units/gtg
4,000 Subcontracting Capacity = 1,800 units/gt
Regular Prod. Cost = $20/unit
Overtime Prod. Cost = $25/unit
1
2
2,000 Inventory Capacity
= 6,000 untis/atr
Subcontracting Cost = $35/unit
Inventory Cost
3
Beginning Inventory
= 500 units
= $4/unit/gtr
Linear programming is to be used to determine a production plan strategy of Level Production,
Overtime, and Subcontracting.
a. Formulate the Objective Function (note that there are 3 quarters).
b. Formulate all Constraints (standardized).
c. How many decision variables are in the model?
d. How many constraints are in the model? (do not include non-negativity constraints)

The market feedback shows that the optimal price for this item is $10 each. If the item is outsourced to Laval Hardware Co, there is virtually no cost other than the $6 per unit that they would pay Laval Hardware Co. Internally, they have two choices. Process A requires an investment of $120,000 for design and equipment, but it results in a $4 per unit cost. Process B requires only a $100,000 investment, but its per unit cost is $5. Regardless of whether the item is subcontracted or produced internally, there is a 50% chance that they will sell 50,000 units, and a 50% chance that they will sell 100,000 units.
