Precision Transfer, Inc. makes more than 300 types of precision gears. The operations to make the different types are similar, but the time and materials required are different. Because all the gears made by Precision are similar, the aggregation unit for planning purposes is a gear. Forecasts for the aggregate demand of gears are given below. Month January February March April May June Total Forecast Demand 2700 3000 4000 4500 3200 2900 20,300 From historical data, it was determined that a worker can make 3.8 gears/day. Production costs do not change over the planning horizon and include worker wages and benefits. A unit produced but not sold in a month is counted as inventory for the entire month (end-of-month) inventory. The following summarizes the important cost and workforce information: Production Costs Inventory holding costs Backordering cost Worker hiring costs Worker layoff costs Worker wages and benefits Working day Beginning workforce level $30/unit $5/unit/month $15/unit/month $4500 worker $6000 worker $8/hour 8 hours/day 35 workers With this information, develop an aggregate production plan using chase, level, and Linear Programming Profit Maximization Model.
