The on-hand inventory on the first day of January is expected to be 250 pallets. Stockout cost (lost sales) is estimated at $60 per pallet, while inventory holding cost is $15 per pallet per month. It's mid-December. The plant manager has to make a strategic decision before the holidays and is considering two alternative plans to meet demand. Plan A Keep the currentworkforce and subcontract the balance to meet demand. Subcontracting cost is $35 per pallet. The capacity the subcontractor can commit is 250 pallets per month. Plan B Increase capacity to 1,700 pallets per month using additional full-time resources at an incremental cost of $4,500 per month. The option of subcontracting at $35 per pallet is also available. The capacity the subcontractor can commit is 250 pallets per month. What plan would you recommend? Why
