Because of its labor contract a company must hire enough labor for 100units of production per week on one shift or 200 units per week on two shifts. They cannot hire layoff or work over time. During the fourth week workers will be available from another department to work part or all of an extra shift (up to 100 units). There is a planned shut down for maintenance in second week which will cut to half Develop a production plan the open inventory is 200 units and desired ending inventory is 300 units. Total production=300 +1080-200 = 1180 units Number of weeks available for production=5.5 (because week 2 is half week). Average weekly level production=1180/5 5 =2145 units'week The nearest quantity that can be producedis 200 units on two shifts. In the second week there is a shutdown so production in that week will be only 100 units Total production so far =5 x 200 + 100 = 1100 units. The balance of 80 units can be made in week four when extra helpis available. But when you make you have to make at least 100, so that week four's production will be 300. Therefore, total production is: (Please filling in the table below) Week 3. 4. 6.
