**Note that there is no holding cost for June.
What will each of the two following strategies cost?
a) Vary the workforce so that production meets demand. Chua had eight workers on board in June.

DAT, Inc., needs to develop an aggregate plan for its product line. Relevant data are Management prefers to keep a constant workforce and production level, absorbingvariations in demand through inventory excesses and shortages. Demand not met is carriedover to the following month.Develop an aggregate plan that will meet the demand and other conditions of theproblem. Do not try to i nd the optimum; just i nd a good solution and state the procedureyou might use to test for a better solution. Make any necessary assumptions.
What detail is required to build the aggregate schedule for an operations manager? List and illustrate the distinction between the capability options and the demand options for aggregate preparation. The approach or formula always provides the overall minimal cost for the overall plan?
3. What information is necessary for an operations manager to create the aggregate plan? List the capacity options and demand options of aggregate planning and explain the difference between them. Which strategy or model always gives the aggregate plan with the minimum total cost?
