Question:

The problem in Example 12.8 assumes that the heaviest demand occurs in the second (post-April) phase of selling. It also assumes that capacity is higher in the second production opportunity than in the first. Suppose the situation is reversed, so that the higher capacity and most of the demand occur in the first phase. Make some reasonable assumptions for the resulting input parameters, and then solve for the optimal production plan. Do you get qualitatively different results? Which situation would you rather face if you were ShirtTails?
