Problem $19-7($Algo$)$

Develop a production plan and calculate the annual cost for a firm whose demand forecast is fall, $10,600$; winter, $8,400$ ; spring, $6,500$ ;

summer, $12,600.$ Inventory at the beginning of fall is $530$ units. At the beginning of fall you currently have $30$ workers, but you plan to

hire temporary workers at the beginning of summer and lay them off at the end of summer. In addition, you have negotlated with the

union an option to use the regular workforce on overtime during winter or spring only if overtime is necessary to prevent stockouts at

the end of those quarters. Overtime is not avallable during the fall. Relevant costs are hiring, $$80$ for each temp; layoff, $$160$ for each

worker lald off; Inventory holding, $$5$ per unit$-$quarter; backorder, $$10$ per unit; straight time, $$5$ per hour, overtime, $$8$ per hour.

Assume that the productlvity is $0\mathrm{.}5$ unit per worker hour, wlth eight hours per day and $60$ days per season. In each quarter, produce to

the full output of your regular workforce, even If that results in excess production. In Winter and Spring, use overtime only If needed to

meet the production required in that quarter. Do not use overtime to bulld excess inventory in prior seasons expressly for the purpose

of reducing the number of temp workers in Summer. $($Leave no cells blank $-$ be certain to enter $"0"$ wherever requlred. Negatlve

values should be Indlcated by a minus sign. Round up "Number of temp workers, Workers hlred and Workers lald off" to the next

whole number and all other answers to the nearest whole number.$)$
