Develop an aggregate production schedule for the year using a constant workforce. For simplicity, assume 23 working days each month except July, when the plant closes down for three weeks' vacation (leaving eight working days). Assume that total production capacity is greater than or equal to total demand. (i.e., compute workforce level based on annual demand and annual capacity). (Leave the cells blank, whenever zero (O) is required. Indicate monthly shortages using a negative ending inventory level. Round up the "number of workers" to the next whole number and round down your "monthly production rates" to the next lower whole number.) X Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
