Chapter 13, Problem 10P
Question:
••• 13.10 The S&OP team (see Problem 13.9) is considering two more mixed strategies. Using the data in Problem 13.9, compare plans C and D with plans A and B and make a recommendation.
► Plan C: Keep the current workforce steady at a level producing 1,300 units per month. Subcontract the remainder to meet demand. Assume that 300 units remaining from June are available in July.
► Plan D: Keep the current workforce at a level capable of producing 1,300 units per month. Permit a maximum of 20% overtime at a premium of $40 per unit. Assume that warehouse limitations permit no more than a 180-unit carryover from month to month. This plan means that any time inventories reach 180, the plant is kept idle. Idle time per unit is $60. Any additional needs are subcontracted at a cost of $60 per incremental unit.

The company has a centralized computer system with terminals located in various departments. The terminals are networked to a computer application, and digital accounting records are hosted on a server in the data processing department.
Each day, the computer in the data processing center scans the inventory records looking for items that must be replenished.

- Question 1 choose 1 solution: You've had a lot on your plate lately, and I know it's been stressful. So how will your plan help you to get back to a better work/life balance? Option 1: I think the best thing I can do at this point is take my vacation. I've been working late almost every night for weeks now, and things aren't slowing down. I considered cancelling or postponing the trip, but it makes more sense for me to go away and come back refreshed. Option 2: By setting you up as the point of contact, I'll make sure that people know who to go to when I'm away. I toyed with handing out my cell number and making myself available for calls, but that seemed like a mistake. This way, the team has leadership they can turn to, and I can still take my vacation. Both sides are covered. Option 3: I'm going to focus on keeping on task and putting things in perspective. You know, prioritizing issues that come up and exercising a little mental discipline to remind myself that the situation…arrow_forwardQuestion 1At Tropico, the activities required to service a car at a dealer can be viewed as a mini-project summarised in the following table: The variability in times required to perform each activity is due to the different types, sizes, and conditions of the cars to be serviced.
