Pennsylvania Replicas makes two types of traditional Shaker tables: The Simplicity and the Workman. The two lines are made in the same facility using the same labor and equipment. In addition, we know that: Each Simplicity and Workman table requires, on average, about 3.2 hours of labor. * Each employee works 160 hours per month, and there is no effective limit on the number of employees * The cost of hiring or firing an employee is $900 * The monthly holding cost for a table is $9.50 * For planning purposes, the beginning and ending workforce is 35 employees * At the beginning of the planning period, there are 0 units in inventory Month November December January February March April May June July August Simplicity Workman Demand Demand 750 6750 875 7875 1000 9000 1000 9000 1250 11250 1250 11250 1500 13500 1500 13500 1625 14625 1750 15750 Problem 1 Develop a level S&OP for November - August. Show aggregated monthly production, workforce and ending inventory levels; monthly hirings and firings, and total hiring, firing, and inventory costs. To keep it simple, assume you can have fractional units in inventory, and that you can hire / fire fractional numbers of employees (ex. - 25.5 employees)
