Each week there are 300 pounds of material 1; 400 pounds of material 2; and 200 hours of labor. The output of product A should not be more than one-half of the total number of units produced. Moreover, there is a standing order of 10 units of product C each week.

According our estimation from day 640 to 730, we had the mean 14.098 drums. Hence, we set the capacity number to 15 and let the production non-stop by adjusting higher order number and 200 quantity per truck. Let’s summary our work as the following: Our process: figure out whether we should build factory and warehouse in specific region. estimate the demand of four region and Fargo region, change capacity, adjust order point, quantity, and priority order, check and adjust parameters from time to time

Based on the demand forecast, we will follow the Aggregate Planning methodology for planning production in an intermediate term, one year. We consider this model adequate, because demand presents variations of +/- 20% in the job shop and more than +/- 30% in the line flow.

The following sections will discuss the specific production schedule, the ranges in which the results apply, and how results may
