8 91426 10 11 (CCM) builds furniture for a range of commercial customers. They build furniture used in hotels and department stores, on cruise liners, ferries and passenger aircraft. One of their products is a luxury bedside tablo. 13 The quarterly demand for the tables during the last 3 years was as follows in Table 1.

The bedside cabinet consists of a wood case, made from 5 planks of wood, 4 aluminium legs and associated brackets and screws. The raw material for the legs is a length of aluminium profile. Each length of aluminium can make 2 legs. (раст чого) Figure 1 Luxury bedside cabinets [1] Last year the cost to run the Purchasing Department was £1050,000 (this does not include the Material Costs to purchase the components, raw materials etc.). 30,000 purchase orders were placed last year. Setting up times to build the complete bedside cabinet, the cabinet top and the legs are as follows: Cabinet wood case- 1 hour per setup at a cost of £50 per hour. Legs - 1 hour per setup at a cost of £50 per hour. Complete bedside cabinet assembly - 1 hour per setup at a cost of £50 per hour. Last year the cost to run the stores (storemen's wages, lighting, heating etc.) was £250,000. Money invested in stocks over last year was £155,000. There were 4 general stock checks where each item of stock was recorded. The total value of stock for each of the stock checks was: £1,450,000 £1,600,000 £1,500,000 £1,050,000 Table 4.
