- Q7. The president of Rose Bowl Enterprises, Desmond Howard, projects the firms aggregate DEMAND requirements over the next 8 months as follows: These are the monthly DEMAND, not production. MONTH JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JULY AUG DEMAND 1,400 1,600 1,800 1,800 2,200 2,200 1,800 1,800 PRODUCTION 1,600 from December INVENTORY 200 from Dec plus 200 His operations manager is considering a new plan, which begins in January with 200 units on hand. Stockout cost of lost sales is $100 per unit. Inventory holding cost is $20 per unit per month. Ignore any idle time costs. The plan is called plan A. Plan A: Vary the workforce level to execute a strategy that produces the quantity demanded in the prior month. The December demand was given as 1,600 units per month. Therefore, the production for JAN will be 1,600. However, only 1,400 are needed. Therefore, the extra 200 produced go into inventory and there is a holding cost for inventory. Also, per the above, you already have 200 units in inventory…arrow_forwardWhat does MRP stand for?arrow_forward11. Unik hotel has the available capacity of 500 deluxe rooms, and the margin for each room is $100.
