Aggregate Planning Given the projected demands for the next six months, prepare an aggregate plan that uses inventory, regular time, overtime, subcontract and backorders. Regular time is limited to 150 units per month (Cost per Unit = $40 ). Overtime is limited to a maximum of 30 units per month (Cost per Unit =$60). Units purchased from the subcontractor (Cost per Unit = $72 ) cannot exceed 40 per month and the total purchases from the subcontractor over the 6 month period cannot be over 240 units. Backorders cannot exceed 70 units in any given month (Cost per Unit = $4 ) and must be no more than 20 in Period 6. Average Inventory Holding cost per Unit = $8. Forecasted Demand as well as Beginning and desired Ending Inventory are listed in the table below.
