1. Joe now needs a rough-cut capacity check to determine hether the capacity at each work center is adequate to support e expected demand. Using the forecasted demand as your pro- osed master schedule, calculate the load profile for each work enter for each week of the second quarter. Highlight any weeks which problems might occur. 2. Joe knows from past experience that he has some flexi- lity in his workforce. Therefore, as long as the total capacity needed does not exceed the total available, the master schedule should be feasible. He also knows that he can increase his ca- pacity total an additional 2.5 percent through extra overtime and still be within his budget. Given this new information, what recommendations do you have for Joe? What weeks are likely to be problems, and how should he use the capacity in those weeks? How important to NIMCO is it to have a flexible work- force? 1. Joe now needs a rough-cut capacity check to determine hether the capacity at each work center is adequate to support e expected demand.
