Please answer A,B,C,D

Question 5 (a) Table 2 shows the demand figures for a product over a six-month period. Copy and paste the table into your answer file and complete assuming a Level production plan. (Note: If you need to hand draw the table you may do so, and then photograph and paste the image into your answer file.) Table 2: Sep Dec Jul 600 Aug 700 Oct Nov 2400 1900 1700 800 Demand (Units) Cumulative Demand (Units) Production per Period Cumulative Production Cumulative Demand minus Cumulative Production Ending Inventory Back Orders (b) Comment on your results and explain whether at this stage, you consider a Level plan is a suitable approach for this particular business. Your comment should include reference to a calculated 'fill rate'. (c) Using Table 2 again, this time complete for a Chase production plan. Question 5 (continued) (d) Explain whether a Level or Chase plan is more suitable for the demand pattern experienced by this particular business, which incidentally relies on highly skilled workers in the production process. Assume a starting workforce of 7 and that fractional workers are permissible. You should support your answer with numerical data derived from Table 3. In comparing the costs, state any other assumptions made. Table 3: Units produced per worker per period 200 450 150 7.50 Hiring cost per worker Firing cost per worker Inventory Holding Cost per unit per period Shortage Cost per unit per period 10.50
