Modify your model to take the following complication into account. If SPFPredictedDemand (from the SPF) is greater than 1000 but less than or equal to 1200 we have to use overtime to be able to meet demand. In this case, we decide to model this by increasing the unit production cost from $90 to $110 for all units of demand above 1000 and less than or equal to 1200. So, if demand is equal to 1050, we pay $90 unit production cost on the first 1000 units and pay $110 on the last 50 units. If demand is greater than 1200, we can only satisfy demand for 1200 units and we simply lose all the demand above that. Of course, we have to pay the overtime costs for all those above 1000 and less than or equal to 1200, as just described.
