makes the process choice. Demand will be classified into four compartments: poor, fair, good, and excellebt The table below indicates the payoffs (profits) associated
with each processidemand combination, as well as the probabilities of each long-term demand level:

Low demand
Moderate demand
High demand

- You are responsible of developing the six-month aggregate production plan at Sodas Galore, a manufacturer of soft drinks. Your company makes three types of sodas: regular, diet and super-caffeinated. All three types are made using the same production process, and the switching costs can be ignored as they are so minimal. The S&OP team case created the following forecast of demand for the next six months. In addition to the sales forecast, the company has also developed planning values that are also shown in the next table.
