- A manager has prepared a forecast of expected aggregate demand for the next six months. Develop an aggregate plan to meet this demand given this additional information: A level production rate of 1000 units per month can be used. Backorders are allowed, and they are charged at the rate of $20 per unit per month. Inventory holding costs are $1 per unit per month in ending inventory. Determine the cost of this plan if regular time cost is $10 per unit and beginning inventory is zero. Overtime costs $16 per unit and subcontracting costs $20 per unit. In the 4th month, overtime is not possible. While outsourcing is not allowed in the 3rd month. Overtime capacity is 100 units and subcontracting capacity is 100 units per month.
