Question

You would like to construct an aggregate production plan for product X341 for the next four quarters.

Cost of regular production = 80 $/u

Cost of overtime production = 120 $/u

Inventory holding cost = 12 $/u/qtr

Cost of increasing production = 90 $/u

Cost of decreasing production = 140 $/u

Subcontracting cost = 135 $/u

Stockout cost = 150 $/u

Previous quarter's regular output = 1100 u

Beginning inventory level = 60 u

The forecasted demand for the next four quarters are: 1100, 830, 1000, and 1200 units. Suppose that you want to set the quarterly regular production constant at 900 units and to use overtime if necessary. You do not want to use any subcontract.
