GSCM 530 WEEK 24. The current aggregate demand requirements for a firm are
shown below for the next six months:

The firm always plans to meet all demand. The firm currently has 120 workers capable of
producing 120 units in a month (1 unit/worker). The workforce can be increased (at a cost of
$500 per worker) or decreased (at a cost of $1,000 per worker). Inventory holding cost is $100

per unit per month. The firm currently has 40 units of inventory on hand, and it would like to
have 40 units available at the end of each month. Regular production cost is $3,000 per unit.
a. What should the aggregate plan be if the inventory holding cost is to be minimized?
b. What is the cost of this plan?

6. JokersRWild makes playing cards in several different styles, but a “standard” deck of cards is
used for planning purposes. The average worker at JokersRWild can make 10,000 sets of decks
of cards per month at a cost of $1.00 per deck during regular production and $1.30 during
overtime. The company currently employs 25 workers. Experience shows that it costs $500 to
hire a worker and $500 to fire a worker. Inventory carrying cost is $.25 per deck per month.
Given the following demand estimate, develop a six-month production plan based on level
production, chase using overtime (no workers will be fired and inventory increases if necessary),
and chase by changing workforce level. The beginning inventory is 50,000, and at least that
amount is desired each month.

The citation provided is a guideline. Please check each citation for accuracy before use.

8. Appliances Inc. is preparing an aggregate production plan for washers for the next four
months. The company’s expected monthly demand is given below in the chart. The company will
have 500 washers in inventory at the beginning of the month and desires to maintain at least that
number at the end of each month. Below is other critical data:
Production cost per unit = $300
Inventory carrying cost per month per unit = $50 (based on ending month inventory)
Hiring cost per worker = $1,000
Firing cost per worker = $2,000
Beginning number of workers = 10
Each worker can produce 100 units per month

Problem 8
New Time Videos (NTV) is a new online video rental service. In the field, it is trying to compete
by offering its customers access to all of the major new video releases in one business day. That

placed the order. When you are done with the video, you simply drop it in the prepaid mailing
envelope and return it. All videos arrive in a sorting facility located in the Midwest where
envelopes with the videos are opened, checked (right video with the right sleeve, no scratches, no
cracks, no dirt on the videos), and made ready to be sent out again. As the manager of this
facility, your goal is to turn the returned videos around in 6 hours (a shift is 8 hours long). You
have the following information:
Top of Form

a. Calculate the expected average flow time (hint: Use Little’s Law).
b. What changes would you recommend to meet the goal of processing a returned video within 6
hours?

PizzaTime Restaurants is building a new pizza place and needs to determine how big to make the
various parts of its facility. It wants to be able to accommodate a maximum of 500 customers per
hour at its peak times. PizzaTime has collected the following information: the average time to
place and receive an order is 1.1 minutes, 20 percent of the customers have cars and require
parking spots, and the average length of time at the restaurant is 20 minutes per customer.
Assuming a capacity cushion of 20 percent, find:

3. Suppose Jones Corporation in the above problem determined that its annual inventory carrying
cost = 18 percent. The item unit cost was as follows:
Item 1 = $25.00
Item 2 = $60.00
Item 3 = $5.00
Item 4 = $10.00
Item 5 = $1.00
Compute the dollar values for the information in the above table, determine the annual inventory
carrying cost for each item, and the total annual inventory carrying cost.

4. Again, using the data for Jones Company in problems 2 and 3, suppose Jones believes that in
the upcoming year, the rate of sales expected for each of the five items is as follows:
Item 1 = 4,000 units per day
Item 2 = 2,000 units per day
Item 3 = 15,000 units per day
