A Juarez, Mexico, manufacturer of roofing supplies has developed monthly forecasts for a family of products. Data for the 6-month period January to June are presented in the table below. There are 8 hours of production per day. a) The firm would like to begin development of an aggregate plan. For this plan, plan 5, the firm wishes to maintain a constant workforce of 6, using subcontracting to meet remaining demand. Evaluate this plan. To determine whether this plan is desirable, first calculate demand per day for each month (enter your responses rounded to the nearest whole number) Table 1 Production Days 22 Demand Forecast 800 18 650 Month 1 January 2 February 3 March 4 April 5 May 6 June 21 850 Other data Avg Dem Per Prod. Day Inventory carrying cost $8 per unit per month Subcontracting cost per unit $12 per unit 36 Average pay rate $5 per hour ($40 per day) Overtime pay Rate $7 per hour (above 8 hrs per 36 day) 40 Labor-hours per unit 1.6 hrs per unit 52 Cost of increasing daily $300 per unit production rate (hiring & 55 training) 63 Cost of decreasing daily $600 per unit production rate (layoffs) 21 22 1.100 1.200 1,250 20 The production rate per day = 30 units.
